ROSSENDALE United manager Derek Egan has urged his side to be more consistent after scraping through their Lancashire Challenge Trophy clash on penalties.

The Stags were held to a 2-2 draw after extra time at Blackpool Mechanics in midweek, going through 8-7 in the shoot-out.

But Egan blamed a drop in standards for not seeing the game off in normal time.

"We were fine in the first half, but the second half was scrappy and we came down to a level that we shouldn't," he said, ahead of tomorrow's home game against Ossett Albion.
