Cliftonville manager seeks more consistency from his team this season

Belfast: Cliftonville’s manager, Jim Magilton, believes his team has shown some good moments this season. However, he wants them to be more consistent in their performance. The team is currently in second place in the league and is preparing for a crucial match against the defending champions, Larne. This game will take place on Sunday at Inver Park and will be broadcast live on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website.

Magilton is eager for his team to build on their recent impressive 4-0 victory over Loughgall. He sees Sunday’s match as a significant opportunity to gauge where his team stands. While he is pleased with their progress, he acknowledges that there is still room for improvement.

The manager reflected on a recent setback against Ballymena, noting that while they have shown quality and control, there have been moments of weakness that need addressing. He emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum and continuing to perform well.

When asked if facing Larne is a good opportunity, especially after their European match where they lost 1-0 to Olimpija, Magilton was clear. He stated that there is never a good time to play against Larne, particularly since it will be Nathan Rooney’s first game as their new manager.

Magilton expressed confidence in Larne’s squad depth, suggesting that their European commitments would not distract them. He believes that Cliftonville’s home game is a significant event, and Larne will quickly refocus. With a new manager, they will be looking for a strong response as they try to catch up in the league.
