Steve McKimm can see the positives at Tonbridge - even if his players might not at the moment.

Angels have lost their first two games of the National South season, losing 5-1 at Ebbsfleet and 1-0 at home to Bath.

But there was plenty to like about the Bath display as McKimm’s men prepare for two games in three days over the Bank Holiday weekend.

“We didn’t have that cutting edge in the final third, not too much in terms of efforts on target, but that’s stuff we can work on,” said boss McKimm.

“Our effort and our endeavour were good and, in general, I was pleased with the performance.

“Not pleased we lost but I could see a vast improvement.

“The players - old and new - are passionate about their football and they couldn’t see the positives straight away, and probably still won’t, because they don’t like losing games.

“My job is to point out the positives and work on the slight negatives.

“I like that in players, because they want to win games and it hurts them when they don’t.”

McKimm will check on Tommy Wood (calf), Arthur Lee (hip) and Craig Braham-Barrett (chest infection) before naming his side for Saturday’s game at Hungerford.

Their opponents were a surprise package last season, along with Bank Holiday Monday’s visitors, St Albans.

McKimm said: “I’m not sure if the injured players will be back for the weekend. I won’t make any predictions on that. We’ll wait until Saturday morning, when we know how they are.

“We’ve got a real game on our hands at Hungerford.

“The manager’s good - it was the first time I’d met him last year and he was a really nice fella - and his team were very good.

“St Albans are another team who will be there or thereabouts.

“They were unlucky to lose at Dorking on Saturday.

“If you score twice there and get a point it’s a really good result but unfortunately they conceded in the 90th minute.

“They’ll be disappointed about that but they’ll bounce back because Ian Allinson’s a good manager. We’ll have our work cut out.”

Angels attracted a crowd of 637 against Bath as fans returned to Longmead. Another big turnout on Monday would be most welcome.

“We had a fantastic crowd,” said McKimm.

“They went away disappointed with the result but not the performance - they saw the effort put in by the boys.

“It’s now a matter of turning that into points.

“Our crowd are very good - long may that continue.”
