Reiss Greenidge helped Maidstone to a clean sheet on his return from international duty - but was far from happy.

Centre-back Greenidge was back in England after representing Guyana in successive 3-1 victories over Puerto Rico in the CONCACAF Nations League.

He was named in the starting XI for the Stones’ National League South game at Welling on Tuesday night, making a goal-saving challenge to deny the Wings a late winner.

A goalless draw put another point on the board but Greenidge, 27, cut a frustrated figure and has called for an improvement at Weston on Saturday (3pm).

“It was a scrappy game,” said the 6ft7in defender. “Neither team really got the ball down and played.

“It was a point away from home, which is a positive out of it, but personally I feel the performance was disappointing.

“We didn’t show our quality enough. We kind of played the game like them and it didn’t give us an advantage.

“We gave the ball away too easily - sloppy.

“It wasn’t good enough, to be honest.

“We haven’t lost in a while, and it’s good we kept that going, but we need to do better on Saturday and win.”

It could have been worse without Greenidge’s intervention, a last-ditch challenge as Kain Adom went through on goal in the closing stages.

“I guess you’ve got to take the risk or they’re just going to score,” he said.

“If you miss it, you miss it, and you’ve got to deal with the consequences.

“It’s better than them having a free shot on goal.”

Greenidge enjoyed his latest taste of international football with Guyana, his father’s birthplace.

They’re top of League B Group C after extending their 100% record to four matches.

“We played two games and won both,” said Greenidge.

“It’s always good to go there and play for them - it’s warmer.

“The quality is different, the style of football is different.

“It’s an experience you’re always going to remember and tell your kids about so if they call me I always feel inclined to go because it’s the country my dad’s from, that whole side of the family, and they’re really happy when I play for them.

“I think I’ve got six caps now but a lot of them have been friendlies here and there over the past few years.

“It’s a new manager so I’ll see if I can get a few more caps.

“Sometimes you feel tired from the flying but I guess that’s part of it.”

Next on the agenda for Greenidge is to string together a run of games for Maidstone.

Last season was cut short by an ankle injury at Dagenham on Boxing Day.

The former Bolton man signed a new deal in the summer, scoring the winner against Slough on the opening day, before suffering a hip injury at Braintree.

“I’ve had a few injuries - it’s been a bit upsetting,” said Greenidge.

“It’s about staying injury-free and trying to help the team if I can.”
