And John Yems was frustrated not to win a game they should have won comfortably.

He said: 'We threw another game away. We gave it to them.

"We should have just seen the game out. It was 2-0 but it should have been six or seven, we should have killed the game off. We beat ourselves.

"We are killing ourselves.

"We don't ever seem to have a good goal scored against us, silly, spawny goals or goals we should do better at. and you have got to stop it, and I am fed up of saying it because it's my job to put a side out that will stop it. Unfortunately it ain't happening at the minute.

"It's kamikaze football."
