Gavin Hunt demands more from Stellies players ahead of TS Galaxy clash

Stellies have not lost in the league since Hunt took over from Steve Barker, and have even forced their way out of the relegation zone, climbing to ninth place. 

The four-time league-winning coach says, while their unbeaten run may give the players some confidence, he still wants them to increase their work rate as they look to solidify their position against TS Galaxy this evening.

"The last game was [a while ago] and I hear what you're saying about confidence, but that can also turn – you've got to be at it, everybody's got to do their jobs and make sure that we're on it," said Hunt.

"And when we don't have the ball, everybody needs to be looking to get it back and, when we have the ball, everybody's got to be looking to play, and try to be positive and create chances."

Hunt also noted that they have had a strange period of rest since their previous match against Siwelele FC, where they played to a 0-0 draw, and expects Galaxy to provide a formidable challenge considering their close positions on the log. 

"Yeah, it's the first time we had like a week to train because obviously the last two months has been hectic, but I don't know if it's good or bad," he added.

"But I think we were so into a rhythm of playing three games a week, so we're looking forward to the game obviously it's [against] number eight and we're number nine, so it's a real tight game.

"Obviously we're looking to, at home, take advantage, but I mean it won't be easy – they're a good side and they can always spring a surprise."
