Mulford: Let’s find that extra 5%

Jake Mulford has urged his Bears teammates to find that extra 5% to help the Bears turn a corner as the side travel to the Scottish Borders this evening to take on Berwick with tapes up at 7:00 at Shielfield Park.

Mulford, in his second year as a Bear, believes if he and some of his colleagues, can find that little extra, the side’s results will change, ” A few of us need to find that extra 5% and if most of us can add 1 or 2 points each match then we will start to come out on the right side of these close meetings.”

The Bears reserve is relatively happy with his start to the season, ” I am quite happy with how things are going. I was a little frustrated last night as I still need to work on a few things and become more consistent and score some more points.”

The 2nd year Bear believes his side can turn things around after last night’s home defeat, ” The boys are frustrated with losing at home but I think we can go to Berwick today with some confidence that we can turn things around and bring home the 3 points on offer.”

Mulford also reserved praise for Charles Wright and Jason Edwards, two bright spots of Redcar’s season so far, ” Charles and Jason have been riding really well for us of late and they have been scoring some big points so we just need to help them by scoring a few more points of our own.”

Redcar bring in Plymouth’s Dan Thompson to guest in place of Jonas Knudsen who is on Polish duty whilst Ben Barker once again deputises for the injured Danny King. The Bandits bring in ex Bear Richard Lawson to guest in place of ankle injury victim Lewi Kerr with the hosts looking to return to winning ways on home shale after being defeated last Saturday by Poole.
