WEYMOUTH manager Bobby Wilkinson insisted the Terras should have beaten Maidstone United after watching his team fall to a 3-2 defeat at the Bob Lucas Stadium.

Weymouth have now lost three straight Vanarama National League South games but led twice against the Stones, who last season dropped from the National League.

Charlie Rowan headed his first Weymouth goal and Ben Thomson netted for the first time since returning to the club, both times Levi Amantchi equalising from crosses into the box.

And a third delivery into the danger area was converted by Liam Sole as Weymouth were denied a point.

However, Wilkinson felt the Terras should have had all three.

He told uptheterras.co.uk: “It was a very entertaining game but their three goals just aren’t good enough.

“You’ve got to stop the deliveries. I’m really frustrated with the goals. I never go for my players but that isn’t good enough defending, you’ve got to be better.

“I come out every single week and support my boys, and I’ll continue, but you won’t get away with those three goals.

“If you stop the crosses, we win the game. We’re 2-1, we’re cruising, we’re playing well and then we concede a sloppy goal.”

Wilkinson said Weymouth will work to improve defensively.

He added: “We will be better, we will have to work on it.

“We could’ve won, we should’ve won. They put the ball in the box three times and scored three goals.

“We had a lot of chances to put the ball in the box in the last 25 minutes and we didn’t do that.”

Having played several of the top sides, Weymouth now enter a theoretically ‘easier’ spell of fixtures, beginning with Hampton & Richmond away tomorrow (7.45pm).
