DEFENDER Wayne Hatswell was especially disappointed at Kidderminster Harriers' failure to beat Bury after missing one of their best chances.

Hatswell believes he desperately needs a goal to boost his confidence in the attacking zone but he has had no such trouble defensively.

The centre-half has produced a string of fine displays and made Harriers a much more solid unit since signing from Chester last October.

Ironically, Hatswell's last goal was in his final Conference game for Chester when they defeated Halifax 2-0 in September and his aerial ability does make him a potential threat at corners.

Hatswell, who celebrates his 29th birthday next month, admitted: "One chance fell to me and I was disappointed to miss but I can't remember the last time I scored so I think the pressure's getting to me.

"I need one to go in off my shoulder or something like that and then I might start scoring a few."

He added: "I wouldn't think there would be too many teams that go to Bury and take points off them.

"But the way the game went we were a bit disappointed not to get all three in the end.

"We played well and I thought we bossed the game from start to finish, especially in the first half.

"If we had gone in two or three up at half-time Bury couldn't have complained and the game would have been over but we just don't seem to be killing teams off at the moment.

"We thought we'd be going to Bury, it would rain and the pitch would cut up badly but that was the best I've seen their pitch.

"There was a little bit of grass on it and we were able to play a little bit."

Director of football Jan Molby admitted his side still did not possess that winning mentality which would have made the difference.

Molby continued: "Like all teams near the bottom we still don't have that winning mentality in the dressing room and that only comes with winning games.

"But in terms of overall football I think that is as good as we have played all season. For 70 minutes, I think you can safely say we were the better team by a long way.

"We had immense excitement leading up to the first Wolves game because of the results against Yeovil and Bristol Rovers and then, like a little kid after Christmas, it has all gone a bit flat.

"We wanted to get something from Bury and start another run of results to make sure we don't get into March or April looking over our shoulders.

"By that time we should be relatively safe and be able to play some more free-flowing football."
