Harbour View assistant coach Fabian Taylor admits his side is going through worrying times after failing to register a victory in their four games in the 2018 -19 Red Stripe Premier League season.

The Stars of the East drew their first match of the season 2-2 against UWI FC, lost 2-0 at home to defending champions Portmore United, and were then thrashed 4-0 by Waterhouse before losing 2-1 to Montego Bay United at home on Sunday.

"I am a little bit worried, but I am still confident that we can turn it around because it is early season and we still have a lot to learn," Taylor told STAR Sports following the Waterhouse result.

It is the first time in the last five seasons that Harbour View are losing three of their first four matches and the second time they are failing to win one of their first three games.

It is also the first time that they are conceding more than five goals in the first three games of the season.

Taylor said the coaching staff has looked at several measures to plug the holes in the defence, which remains under the microscope, having already let in 10 goals.

"That is not acceptable for a team like Harbour View. We have been looking at a lot of different things to come up with the right formula," Taylor said. "We have to learn to defend as a team, not just the defensive line, but everyone in the team."
