Gainsborough Trinity defeat all too familiar - Little

Manager Brian Little felt Gainsborough Trinity again showed defensive frailty in their 3-1 defeat by Corby Town in Blue Square Bet North.

Gavin Cowan put Trinity ahead with Steve Towers levelling for the hosts.

Trinity's Mark Greaves struck the bar before Towers' second put Corby ahead with Nathan Jarman adding a late third.

Little told BBC Lincolnshire: "It's all too familiar. We gave away three poor goals in a poor game. They weren't a pretty team and yet they've beaten us."

Little added: "It was a rough game and they were uncompromising to say the least. We all got a little frustrated, a little angry and they wound us up and it was a shame.

"There was nothing really between the sides, the difference is that they defended a little better than us but I can't believe they scored three goals against us.
