Ollie Banks spoke exclusively to 1866 Sport ahead of Saturday’s clash with his former club, Barrow.
He began by reflecting on last week’s loss at Harrogate Town, saying: “We were all frustrated and disappointed with the result.
“As a group, we know we need to be picking up more wins and performing better.
“There’s no doubt about it; everyone wants to pick up more wins.
“I don’t think we performed to the level we set ourselves as a standard, and I think we need to be a bit more street-smart.
“There’s no way we should lose that game. We’ve reflected on the game, and we’re fully focused on Barrow now and looking to put things right.”
Banks made over 50 appearances for Barrow between 2021 and 2022. He reflected on his time there, saying: “I enjoyed my time at Barrow; it was a good club.
“I played some good games there and captained the club for a while.
“It was a good set-up, and I do have some really good memories from my time there.
“Sometimes it can be strange playing against your old club, for sure.
“It will be nice to see some old friends, but it’s all about trying to get back to winning ways tomorrow. I’ll be fully focused on the game.”
Finally, he shared his thoughts on his own performances so far this season.
He said: “I’m a bit disappointed that I haven’t scored more goals myself, to be honest.
“I don’t think I’ve played poorly, but I always like to chip in with some goals, and I haven’t done that so far and I’d like to see a bit more from myself.
“I’m playing a little deeper this season than I probably was last year, but I still expect myself to score.
“Overall, I just want the team to do well, that’s all I care about.
“I’d like to see us, as everyone in the squad would, pick up more points.”
