Bayliss believes his team are being punished for every mistake

Barrow joint-manager Dave Bayliss says his team have to cut out their costly "schoolboy errors" to survive in the Blue Square Premier.

Bayliss saw his side gift Salisbury two of their goals in Saturday's 3-0 defeat at the Raymond McEnhill Stadium.

"I'd say only three of the goals we've conceded so far [have been ones where] the other teams have had to work for [it]," Bayliss told BBC Radio Cumbria.

"The rest have been 'gimme's' and that's something we have to put right."

The Bluebirds dropped down to 10th in the Blue Square Premier following the Salisbury defeat.

These are basic schoolboy errors and this is what we'll be working at in training this week Dave Bayliss

"We were the best team in the first 45 minutes but a mistake just before half time saw our heads drop. It was a flattering score line for them and one we are still hurting from."

Bayliss says he and Darren Sheridan will spend time this week trying to eradicate the mistakes that have been proved costly for his side so far this season.

"We sat down after the game and had a chat about it," he said.

"Last season we kept 15 clean sheets out of 17 and that's what we built our season around."

"We thought we would do that again this season but every mistake we have made we have been punished for.

"We've given teams goals, the goalkeeper trying to take centre-forwards on, people not defending properly at set-pieces.

"These are basic schoolboy errors and this is what we'll be working at in training this week. "

Kettering Town, who were promoted along with Barrow from Blue Square North last season, are the visitors to Holker Street this weekend.
