Plymouth Albion prop Tim Mathias says the club are finding it hard to explain their poor form.

Albion went down 16-13 to Moseley at the Brickfields to record their eighth defeat in nine games.

"We set ourselves targets and we're just not quite getting there," Mathias told BBC Radio Devon.

"It's disappointing. Although there is nothing to play for there's always a lot of pride at this club and we can't afford to let that go."

Albion beat Sedgley Park 25-19 last week and Mathias says Plymouth thought they had turned the corner.

"After last week we thought we got momentum, training went well and then coming into this game something just wasn't there and it's hugely disappointing," he said.

Albion will want to get back to form quickly as they face a tough derby game at the Cornish Pirates on Saturday.
