SHAUN Keeble insists no alarm bells are ringing at Carter's Park despite seeing his side extend their winless streak in the league.The Tigers are without a league win in over a month – a run that spans six games.
That looked s
et to change when Ross Nichols fired home a stunning opener on Saturday, only for Cogenhoe to turn the game on its head.
Holbeach player/boss Keeble said: "We're not panicking – if anything, our performances of late have been very good.
"That little bit of luck is missing at the moment. That will all change if we can get a win under our belts.
"Credit to Cogenhoe, they are a decent side.
"But we played very well and I think a draw would have been a fair result."
Holbeach made the better start at a soggy Brafield Road, with Danny Hussey firing against the bar and Omar Joof seeing an effort cleared off the line.
The pressure eventually told on 23 minutes, Nichols firing home a sensational left-footed effort from 25 yards.
But the lead only lasted 15 minutes, tall striker Zac Nedimovic heading home a controversial equaliser at the back post.
The Tigers felt he had climbed all over Bobby Patterson – but the goal stood.
Tommy Treacher came within inches of restoring the lead after the break, but his 20-yard effort fizzed past the post.
Both sides were struggling to create clear-cut chances, but the hosts managed to net a scrappy winner.
Damon Herbert made poor contact with a cross at the back post – but his sliced effort deceived James Doughty and found its way into the net.
Tigers: Doughty, Elston (Allen), Patterson, Hussey, Jackson, Joof, Nichols, Warfield (Broom), Cartwright, Treacher, Piper (Nimmo). Not used: Coupland, Keeble.The Tigers have no fresh injury worries ahead of tonight's trip to Yaxley (7.45pm).
