SAMMY McIlroy admits his side need to cut out the mistakes after Morecambe handed Burton two goals in three minutes as they dropped out of the Conference play-off zone.

The Brewers won 2-1 despite the Shrimps totally dominating and McIlroy says: "We have to smarten up a little.

"We have to cut out the mistakes because those two goals in three minutes killed us.

"We have to learn not to give easy goals away. It was a shame because I thought the boys were tremendous throughout. They worked so hard and we deserved a draw at the very least.

"Even when we scored with the penalty I thought we could go on and win the game - but those two goals killed us."
