'We have to expect to win home games'
Glentoran manager Declan Devine says his side must become accustomed to winning their home games as they prepare to host Glenavon at the Oval on Tuesday Glens' home form was disappointing last term but they managed to follow up their 1-0 win on the road against Portadown with a victory by a similar scoreline on their own patch against Premiership new boys Bangor on signing Ryan Cooney scored the only goal of the game in the success over the Seasiders."It's a good start, but we've got to dust down and be ready for Tuesday," reflected Devine in an interview with BBC Sport NI after the match."Every time we play here [at home] we've got to expect to win games. That's something we have to look at now and is something we can do again on Tuesday."It's very early in the season. A lot of clubs, including ourselves, are finding their way. "We have to look to get better than Saturday. I felt that on Saturday we were better than last week and I hope that on Tuesday night we are better than today again."The Glens boss was satisfied with his team's performance against Bangor but expects improvement in attack."Really pleased with the application of the players and how we moved the ball and the control that they put into the game. Just looking for a little more in the final third but that will come."I would have liked a wee bit more penetration, especially the couple of chances we had in the first half. Their keeper made a wonder save from Jordan Stewart."For all the dominance we had I would have liked to add a couple of goals. But it's a new group playing a new way and I have to give every single player that played a lot of credit."Devine is happy with the make-up of his squad."We've assembled a squad but we've high-level players not available. We've a lot of competition, a lot of flexibility and a lot of quality players."I'm a greedy person and I want us to put teams to bed a wee bit earlier. At the same time if you'd have offered me six points from two difficult fixtures I'd have taken it."
