New Leamington boss Easterlow wants Brakes to be the entertainers!

The former Racing Club Warwick boss took the reins at the Your Co-op Community Stadium last week, and has endured a testing start on the pitch, slipping to two 1-0 defeats in his first two games in charge in National League North.

The Brakes were beaten 1-0 at play-off chasing Darlington on Saturday, and then on Tuesday night were edged out by the same scoreline at home by mid-table Buxton, with Johnny Johnstone's goal in first-half stoppage time the difference.

The losses leave Leamington 10 points adrift at the bottom of the table, and 16 points from safety with just eight matches of the season remaining.

Easterlow will be well aware his team's fate is already sealed this season, but outlined how he feels the future will pan out with him in charge.

"We will have an attacking style of play, an attacking philosophy," Easterlow told leamingtonfc.co.uk. "The style will be full of energy and enthusiasm and hopefully the fans will enjoy what we bring to the table.

"I want the fans to be desperate to come back here, I want them to think 'that was an entertaining performance', and they can see that the team is giving everything for the shirt, as they have been over the past few weeks.

"We want to put on performances where the fans will enjoy coming to watch it, and hopefully tell their friends who also start coming along, and that is how you can keep growing the club."

The Buxton match was the first of five on the spin at home for the Brakes, with the next one being Saturday's visit of Scarborough Athletic, before King's Lynn come to town next Tuesday.

And Easterlow is hoping for big backing from the stands, as he said: "The home games are great for me as a new manager, and hopefully we can plenty of people in the ground.

"With me becoming the manager of my local team, and being a local boy, will galvanise a lot of people and there will a lot here over the run of home games."
