Catlin: New faces have given Borough a boost

And the Privett Park boss admits he does not care how his side survive relegation this season.

Borough travel to Kettering Town in the Southern League premier division on Saturday (3pm) with confidence riding high.

Gosport delivered their first league victory this term against Dunstable Town last weekend – one day after they had their transfer embargo lifted.

Jamie Thompson and Lee Molyneaux made key contributions in the success and have helped lift the spirit at Privett Park.

Nevertheless, Borough are still rooted to the bottom of the division and are six points from safety.

Catlin revealed their is a new sense of belief around his squad ahead of the trip of fifth-placed Kettering.

He is adamant points rather than performances are his priority.

‘This game is a much tougher ask, but we must look to try and string a few results together,’ said Catlin.

‘Kettering are one of the top sides, lively up front and strong at home.

‘It will be a totally different kind of test to Dunstable.

‘Getting our first win, however, has lifted the mood in the camp.
