ASSISTANT head coach Michael O’Connor spoke to Coleraine TV ahead of the Bannsiders’ home clash against Glentoran on Saturday…

Coleraine come into the contest looking to bounce back after a 2-1 defeat away at Cliftonville on Tuesday night.

O’Connor stated that whilst the squad were happy the performance at Solitude, they failed to capitalise when on top and were punished for individual mistakes as Joe Gormley netted a brace.

O’Connor added that the league table remains close at this stage of the campaign as teams strive for consistency and acknowledged that Glentoran have players who can provide a threat in the attacking end of the pitch.

He further commented how the squad are looking forward to returning to The Showgrounds after four successive games on the road.
