WARRINGTON Town have failed to score in three of their opening four Evo-Stik Premier Division games.

However, ahead of Saturday’s trip to North Ferriby United, kick off 3pm, manager Paul Carden insists he is not worried about his side’s lack of goals.

Town played twice over the bank holiday weekend and both games – at home to Stalybridge Celtic on Saturday and at Bamber Bridge on Monday – ended goalless.

Carden says some of their goal-shy tendencies can be put down to bad luck and he is confident their fortunes in attack will soon change.

He also believes the addition of forward Jack Mackreth – who along with defender Dave Raven has finally received international clearance to play – will aid them greatly in that respect.

“If we hadn’t created chances, I’d be worried. We will get goals,” he told the Guardian.

“We should have been out of sight in the Stalybridge game and we created chances at Bamber Bridge.

“We’ll have Jack Mackreth available now and he gives us that pace up front which will make us more of a threat.

“I know it will come. We are still getting used to playing with each other so I am not concerned.

“North Ferriby had a great win on Monday which will be a good confidence booster for them.

“We’ll be lifted by Jack and Dave being available for us, but we expect another tough game.

“We’ve made the games tougher than they should have been of late because of the lack of understanding at times.

“We’re getting an hour in between games to work on stuff and it’s nowhere near enough.

“Gradually, it will come and once we get everything in place, things will move along.”

Despite their issues in front of goal, Warrington are looking relatively solid at the other end of the field.

One thing that is pleasing Carden is the form of goalkeeper Tony McMillan, who has made some fine saves in the opening weeks of the campaign.

The Yellows boss says McMillan is getting back to the level that saw him win the player of the season award for the 2016-17 campaign – his first at Cantilever Park.

Carden also credited the role of goalkeeping coach James Speare in McMillan’s improved form.

“Tony had a lot going on last year. He’d moved house and changed jobs,” he said.

“He wasn’t in good form and I think he’d hold his hands up to that.

“We spoke in the summer and he said he had a lot to prove to himself and everyone else that he wasn’t past it.

“He’s getting to the level he was at when he first signed for us. He was one of my first signings and I gave him player of the year.

“It’s not just the saves, his kicking has been better and more accurate. His all-round game is in a very good place.

“Spearo has been where Tony is. He has been an experienced non-league goalkeeper and knows what to do to stay at the right level.

“I’m a big believer that if you neglect your goalkeeper, you neglect your team.

“It’s a specialist position and that’s why you need good people to coach that.

“That’s what Spearo is. He’s doing well for us and for Tony.”

After Saturday’s trip to East Yorkshire, Yellows are back at Cantilever Park on Tuesday night as they host Workington, kick off 7.45pm.
