Scott Porter described Lydd’s final-day defeat at VCD as the worst game in the world.

The Lydders’ performance in Saturday’s 4-0 loss reinforced boss Porter’s view that things must change over the summer.

After finishing 10th in Southern Counties East, he is set to sit down with the club to discuss the way forward.

Porter, who arrived at the Lindsey Field at the end of January, is glad this season is over.

All four goals at VCD came inside 38 minutes, including a hat-trick for Bethel Gboda.

“With the attitude and the way people have conducted themselves, the commitment in the last three games has been poor,” he said.

“Especially on Saturday, it was like the worst game in the world.

“We tried to keep them on their toes and be positive and get everything right before the game but we just didn’t work hard enough without the ball.

“The goals we conceded were so poor.

“It’s been like since I’ve been there and it’s been like that all season by all accounts.

“I couldn’t wait for the final whistle and to get out of there and start looking forward.

“I’ll be sitting down this week with the chairman to see where we go.

“If we want to push on and get in the play-offs next year and get out of this league, a lot of things have to change.

“It’s got to be structured in the right way, on and off the pitch.

“We need changes in personnel and more organisation and that has to come from me, it’s as simple as that.”

It’s never easy taking over midway through a season.

Porter needs a pre-season to truly put his stamp on things and challenge for place in the Isthmian League.

“It was hard to change it as much as I wanted because, to be fair, we were still in a good position and had the play-offs to go for,” said Porter.

“We’ve had players coming and going, we’ve had injuries and I’ve not had enough training sessions to put my finger on things.

“At the time I couldn’t change too much because we were doing OK but we need to change it now and get to grips with the SCEFL.

“I said it from day one, it’s a tough league to get out of and you’ve got to play a certain way.

“You need a Plan A and a Plan B for certain games and that’s what we need to put into place.

“Once I’ve had a chat with the chairman, I’ll know where we stand and we can start putting things in place.”
