Stop the late concentration lapses – and we might start picking up more points.
That's what the Rocks' coaching staff will be telling their squad at training after they conceded two more late goals to slip to their second defeat in three league games in front of nearly 3,000 fans at AFC Wimbledon on Saturday.

It came a week after Bognor equalised at home to Worcester in the 89th minute – only to let in a winner in the 90th.

At Kingsmeadow, the Rocks looked reasonably comfortable at 1-1 going into the final stages.

Then a loose ball in the area fell to Jon Main in the 88th minute and he needed no second invitation. And to rub salt into the wounds, the home side added a third two minutes later to ensure they continued their perfect start to life in Conference South.

Boss Mick Jenkins had mixed feelings afterwards – his pleasure at seeing his side match Wimbledon for long periods overshadowed by his frustration at seeing another point snatched away.

Jenkins said: "Credit to the players. We played okay and had it finished 1-1, I think that would have been fair.

"The home team probably had more possession and chances but we made it hard for them.

"I'm deeply disappointed we didn't get a point. These late goals are frustrating and we'll be working on that.

"It wasn't bad defending, but maybe it was a lack of concentration. We've got to cut that out because we will get punished over and over for it if we don't. But on the plus side, we went there and very nearly came away with a point, and I don't think too many teams will go there this season and go home with much."

Jenkins was delighted to see midfielder Simon Jackson score his second in three games, but admitted he was worried by a 'lack of conviction' in the final third – and a lack of any goals yet for strike pair Dan Beck and Joe Gatting.

Jankins added: "I think this was another game that showed us where we are with having a team that's good enough. We are getting there, but still have a lot of hard work ahead of us."

The Rocks are back in action on Saturday when they host Maidenhead at Nyewood Lane.
