Hakan Hayrettin says Maidstone need to work on their concentration after leaking a late goal for the second time this week.

Hampton & Richmond scored a 90th-minute winner yesterday, a matter of days after Braintree grabbed an injury-time equaliser.

Throw in Bath’s added-time leveller last month and that’s five points blown in Maidstone’s last three away games.

Hayrettin felt Hampton were fortunate in the build-up as a sliced pass reached Ryan Hill, who crossed for Tyrone Lewthwaite’s decisive goal.

But United’s head coach still felt his team should have done better.

He said: “He’s sliced it, hasn’t he? It was never meant to go there. He’s miskicked it and it’s gone there.

“But take nothing away, they’ve scored in the six-yard box and you win and lose games and leagues in the six-yard box, we’ve been saying that all this time.

“We need to work on our concentration maybe a little bit more but I thought we had the ascendancy so we went two up top to try and nick a goal but we didn’t.

“We huffed and puffed and we couldn’t get it.”

Hayrettin felt Maidstone were lacking a cutting edge in attack as they lost for the first time in eight matches and dropped out of the National League South play-off places.

They looked set to kick on after Nana Kyei cancelled out Kyron Farrell’s opener but, having also started well, it wasn’t to be.

Hayrettin added: “I think we put the ball in the box six or seven times, forced about five or six corners in the first eight, nine minutes, but we didn’t get anything out of it.

"They scored a worldie of a goal but we were the better team in the first half.

“We keep talking about this and if you don’t take your chances, you don’t shoot, if you don’t buy a ticket, you aren’t going to win the raffle and that’s the problem we’ve got at the moment.

“The performance was good but I think we lacked a little bit of resilience up top, to keep it up there and push them back.

“I think our final pass could have been better but we had no real end product. That was the problem.”

Kyei was handed a chance on the left with Dan Wishart serving a one-game ban for picking up five bookings.

The former Barnet man, one of five players transfer-listed last month, scored a decent goal, finishing off the underside of the bar early in the second half.

Hayrettin said: “He did well. He got a little bit tired but he did well, took his goal really well. I’m pleased for him.”
