Despite having just one win so far in their debut season, Racing United Assistant Coach Donovan Lofters says he’s not panicking and believes the team will recover in the coming weeks.

The newcomers of the Wray & Nephew Jamaica Premier League (JPL) suffered their fourth loss of the season when they went down 1-3 to Harbour View at Stadium East field on Sunday.

Andre Fagan’s first-half double and a stoppage-time penalty from Rohan Brown were enough to give Harbour View the win.

Racing’s consolation came from a Harbour View player as Captain Casseam Priestley conceded an own goal.

Lofters, who is assistant to Head Coach Anthony Patrick, says his team didn’t do enough to come away with a win.

“We weren’t organised and didn’t communicate well. Sometimes the emotions took over, we tried to calm them down in the half-time [break]. We did better in the second half but then another error cost us,” he said.

Since their win against Dunbeholden in September, the St Catherine-based club has gone winless in five games, including losses to Tivoli Gardens FC and Mount Pleasant Academy.

With Racing sitting in 13th place on five points, Lofters believes they have the quality to improve their standing in the league table.

“We don’t see ourselves as minnows, we see ourselves as a team competing. If we were lucky, we’d be in a different kind of conversation. But we have to continue working because it’s a long season,” he said.

“The glass is not half empty, it’s half full and we have to continue preaching that to them and as long as we’re positive, we’ll get positive results.”

The win pushes Jason Henry-coached Harbour View — who had suffered defeat to Dunbeholden FC a week ago — to seventh place on 10 points. Double scorer Fagan is confident the team can climb into the top six.

“Today’s game wasn’t an easy one because we knew we had to win. The coaches worked with us all week and today we displayed it very well,” he added.

“I’m used to these kind of environments, I’m just here to show the younger guys that they can do it and we can do it together. We have a young team so we just need to build on what we have.”
