WESTBURY United manager Derek Graham has called for his side to be more clinical in front of goal as they crashed to their fourth straight defeat on Saturday.

Steve Perkins' first half penalty was not enough to prevent United slipping to their seventh defeat in eight games and Graham is now desperate for more goals.

He said: "Losing is becoming a habit to us, but to be honest we could and should have scored a lot more goals.

"Their keeper had a good game and if we had made the most of our chances we would have won about 6-2.

"The goals against column shows we are not doing a lot different defensively to last season our problem is going forward.

"We are missing Wayne Wheeler and Toby Colbourne, who are out injured, but the people who are missing the chances are those you would expect to score."

Two excellent left foot finishes by Eugene Dunn and Damian Thorne won the points for Clevedon in a match dominated by a gale force crosswind.

Dunn latched onto a half clearance by Aaron Salter to bury a volley past Mark Batters from the edge of the box on six minutes.

United's first real attack saw them win a penalty when Marc Jenkins climbed all over Jerad O'Pray.

Captain Steve Perkins scored powerfully from the spot to equalise in the 19th minute.

Some excellent defending by Andy Woodlands kept O'Pray and Paul Beavers at bay as United looked to push forward.

Perkins tried his luck from 40 yards out on the left wing but, with keeper Ian Ganfield off his line, the ball fell narrowly wide.

Thorne's goal came after 40 minutes when he dispossessed Russell Fishlock and hit a fizzing strike that flew in at the far post.

United had most of the play in the second half but a combination of more fine defending by Woodlands, saves by Ganfield and some wayward finishing ensured that Clevedon hung onto their slender lead.

Ganfield made a terrific tip over from O'Pray on 47 minutes and O'Pray also went close with a clever lob that fell wide of the target a few minutes later.

Ganfield denied O'Pray again from the striker's ambitious acute angle effort.

Steve Seals became more prominent in the closing stages and twice went close. Firstly with a rising shot from the edge of the box and secondly with a speculative 40 yard strike.

United's day was summed up in the last minute as Mark Pearce arrived on the end of a wayward pass but saw Ganfield block his blast with his chest before pouncing on the ball.

Perkins fired across the face of goal in stoppage time but it was not to be United's day.
