DON'T worry - that's Terry Dolan's message to York City supporters attending this afternoon's home game with Barnet (3pm).

Despite home reversals against Cheltenham and Stoke, City manager Dolan felt that there was no undue pressure on his side as they seek to impress their own supporters at Bootham Crescent.

"Sometimes I find it hard to understand why people are worrying about our being at the bottom, we have only played three games for God's sake" said Dolan.

"But we are not going to worry about what people say. We know where we have got to improve.

"My job is to get the best out of the players and I felt that against Carlisle they responded well."

An injury time equaliser denied City their first win of the season at Brunton Park on Friday night after Peter Duffield put City ahead from the penalty spot.

City actually moved away from the foot of the Football League on Saturday without kicking a ball.

Chesterfield's 3-0 home win over Shrewsbury sent the Shropshire side below City on goal difference, each side having gleaned just one point from a possible nine.

The Minstermen went in today's game knowing they must improve their poor home record to climb up the table.

They've managed just 130 goals in 115 league games at the Crescent in the last five years - statistics that have produced just 38 victories.

However, Dolan was happy that his side were heading in the right direction and they will not be panicked into feeling that they have a point to prove.

"While we were disappointed about not claiming all three points, what we saw at Carlisle was an improvement on what we have done before," said Dolan.

"We know what we have got to do and we are off the mark with our point on Friday.

"And now all we can concentrate on doing is quietly going about the job of picking up points and that starts with our next game against Barnet."

Dolan was in a position where he was able to select the same side that faced the Cumbrians at Brunton Park with no additional injuries to report to those of long term casualties Chris Fairclough, Peter Swan and Craig Skinner.

Barnet arrived in York having suffered a similar fate to City on Friday.

The Bees were leading highly-rated Cardiff 2-0 at Underhill on Saturday with goals from Scott McGleish and Ken Charlery with nine minutes to go when the Welsh club roared back with two late goals - the equaliser coming in injury time - to snatch a point.
