The young winger showed some flashes of real quality for the Terras but still could not inspire them to overcome Toolstation Western League Division One side Bridport, who defended well in what turned out to be a goalless draw.

Following a positive performance in Saturday’s 2-0 defeat against Crawley Town, this latest display was clearly viewed as unsatisfactory by Wey-mouth boss Ian Hutchinson, who felt his side failed to take the game by the ‘scruff of the neck.’ He said: “We were disappointing in certain areas and it was a real shame as it was a great opportunity for a lot of the lads to take the bull by the horns and show what they can really do.

“It is okay doing well against the likes of Crawley but in games like this one you have really got to try and get a hold of it and we did not do that.

“We were not clinical enough in front of goal and our pressing and closing down was not good enough.

“However, I would rather this happen now in pre-season than when the really serious stuff begins in a couple of weeks’ time.

“There are still a few weeks to go to the start of the season and we know we still need to get that extra bit of quality in, which we will do.

“In the meantime we will continue to stick together and move on. I had a chat with the lads afterwards but I am not going to berate them at all.

“Many of them are young players who have come into the set up from a lower standard and we must remain patient and continue to work with them to get the best out of them.”

Reflecting on Min-Kim’s performance, Hutchinson added: “He was at AFC Bournemouth last season and I believe they wanted to offer him something but because of the transfer embargo they couldn’t.

“So, towards the end of the season he came to us and had a few run outs in the reserves and I thought he showed some nice touches. He looked sharp, can play down either flank, and we will definitely be taking another look at him.”

Meanwhile, Hutchinson is now in a position to offer some of his young stars non-contract terms and is hoping to secure several signatures by the end of the week.

He said: “We can now go ahead and tie a few down and we will be looking to do that over the coming days. There should be some developments by the weekend.”

Hutchinson began his managerial career at Bridport and was full of admiration for the job Trevor Senior is currently doing at St Mary’s.

He added: “They were good opposition. They played the game in the right spirit and tried to get the ball down and pass it, which was nice to see. I wish Trevor and his side all the best for the forthcoming season.”
