The loss leaves Guernsey third-from-bottom in Isthmian League South Central, five points from safety.

"It was disappointing," Dodds told BBC Radio Guernsey.

"After last week's home win, we really wanted to kick on and build on it, but 3-0 down at half time and the game's gone already.

"We're all very disappointed with how we performed today - second half had some positives, but it was a bit too late by then unfortunately."

He added: "No one can look at themselves and say that they won their individual battle.

"They outran us, they were more physical and it was a very poor first half.

"The plus was the response, but we know that you can't just perform for one half, you've got to put it together for the whole game."
