Minehead manager Steve Perkins is calling on his side to toughen up away from home.

His call comes following the Blues' defeat at Weston St John last weekend which saw the side slip to fourth from bottom.

"We've taken points against some of the top sides at home but look a soft touch away," he said.

"It's not that we get outplayed, more out-muscled and we have got to be tougher.

"I know we've had tp play a lot of youngsters this season, and they are good players, but they've got to learn to handle the physical side.

"We've lost too many points away from home because we've lacked the ability to battle."
