Sun's plight is temporary

Premier Division runners up last season, Sun Sports, at present stand sadly near the foot of the table with only three points from six outings.
Sun, however, feel that the situation is only temporary.
On Saturday, for example, Sun were six first team players short through injury, illness and business commitments, but it was not until eight minutes from time that they conceded the deciding goal.
The visitors took the lead after seven minutes when Kevin Stratford seized on a poor clearance and found the net with a curling shot off the far post.
After 30 minutes, Roy Shirley, in attempting to concede a corner, headed into his own net.
Knebworth took the lead in the 60th minute with a long range free kick when Cliff Langley was unsighted but within 10 minutes Sun gained a deserved break when the home centre half headed a Stratford cross into his own goal.
Alas, Knebworth scored the decider and their first victory eight minutes from time.
