Solihull Moors: Players not concerned by slow start to season

Aug 15 2009 by Nick Pullen, Birmingham Mail

SOLIHULL Moors remain far from downhearted despite losing their opening games of the season.

Chairman Nigel Collins confirmed: “Obviously it’s not the start we wanted, but I couldn’t complain about our performances.

“We played extremely well in the second half of our 2-1 defeat against Fleetwood, while the first half at Alfreton was one of the best I’ve seen at this level for a long time.

“It could have been 5-5 at half time it was that good!

“However, Alfreton got a goal in the 47th minute and their tails were up from that point and went on to win 3-0.”

Moors remain frustrated at their attempts to sign Darren Stapleton from Shamrock Rovers. They are still awaiting international clearance from the Irish FA.

Collins admitted: “It’s becoming a bit annoying because this is the second week running that we’ve been without Darren.

“If clearance comes through in time, he should be available for today’s trip to Northwich Victoria.”
