DUNBEHOLDEN FOOTBALL Club will look to continue their revival under coach Harold Thomas when they take on Molynes United in the Jamaica Premier League (JPL) game this afternoon at the Anthony Spaulding Complex at 3.
The team had a slow start under Thomas, with just one win in his first three starts. However, since then, they have gone on a four-match unbeaten run, with three wins.
Although they have pulled away from the relegation zone and made up ground on eighth-place Tivoli and seventh-place Racing United, Thomas says they are not getting excited as all the teams are precariously place and that it is important they continue picking up points.
“Three points is really the goal. When you get three points in this league. It is a bonanza. So it is very important to us to get three points,” he said.
“We take it one game at a time. We don’t want to get too ahead of ourselves and start thinking about that [top six]. A three-point swing either way can be good and can be very bad. So we are just focused on one game at a time,” he added.
Dunbeholden face a Molynes team that is one place below them in 10th and three points adrift on 23 points with Thomas anticipating another tricky game.
“Any and every team in this league is a tricky one. So many factors go into these games that determine the results. We have tried to prepare as best as we can and I am sure all the other teams have tried to do the same. So let us see what happens,” he said.
Although the team is on a good run, Thomas said they are far from the finished article but applaud the players for their efforts so far.
“I am not totally pleased but it is much better than when we started. We still have a long way to go but the players have tremendous potential and I hope they continue to deliver because they have it in them.
“It is a work in progress. So there is still a lot of work to be done and a lot more effort to come from the players. But they have responded well and I hope they continue to do that,” he said.
