Yellows’ second season in the National League North got off to torrid start on Saturday, with a 3-1 defeat on the road at an impressive King’s Lynn Town side. Beesley’s side were outplayed on the day, with Matty McDonald’s second-half consolation being the only thing they had to show for their efforts in Norfolk. Now, their bid to bounce back sees them welcome Peterborough Sports to Cantilever Park on Saturday for their first competitive home fixture of the season.

Of their next six fixtures, five will be at home and it is a run Town will be keen to take advantage of but in order to do that, Beesley insists they have to take on board the lessons they were taught on the opening day.

“We’ve got to be more ‘at it’ and more aggressive in our play as well as making the right decisions. “If we’re playing well, it’s about how we’re moving and if we’re not, it’s about getting in and being compact. “At times, we got caught between the two on Saturday.

” What Town have had this week is the luxury of time to work on things, with two training sessions on Tuesday and tonight, Thursday, before they face Peterborough. It is not a luxury they will have in the weeks to come, with a midweek trip to South Shields coming up on Tuesday before a home double .
