WINGER Charlie Henry has called on Chelmsford City fans to stick with their new-look side – insisting manager Dean Holdsworth "will get it right".
The Clarets sit third from bottom of the Conference South table after just two wins in their first eight games.
Last week's impressive 2-0 win at Ebbsfleet United was followed up with a lacklustre showing at Dorchester on Saturday.
Henry was one of the few players to emerge from that game with any credit and the recent signing – who has played under Holdsworth at Newport and Aldershot – is adamant things will pick up.
"Dean's a great manager," he said. "Whether it's now, in a month's time or next season, he will get it right.
"His first season at Newport they didn't do great but the next season they went up.
"He's a great man-manager, he lets you go and express yourself and I like working for him.
"Chelmsford is a great club and the fans are brilliant from what I've seen so far. It's just disappointing that we haven't been able to give them as many results as they deserve.
"They turn up in their numbers and we haven't been getting the results so far but hopefully things are changing and if they keep turning up, hopefully we will get the results for them."
Henry, 26, has made three appearances for the club and been lively in them all, although he concedes that he would rather have not had a good afternoon personally and been part of a winning side at the Avenue Stadium.
He added: "I've been happy with my own performances but I'd rather us have the three points and me have not such a good game.
"I was frustrated more than anything. We had chances to win the game, we probably had chances to win two games but we can't give goals away like we did and we've got to start taking our chances."
Attention now turns to the FA Cup on Saturday when the Clarets face a potential banana skin at Southern Premier League Biggleswade Town.
And Henry knows only too well the prospects of an FA Cup upset, having been part of the Macclesfield side which beat Cardiff last season.
He added: "I'd have much preferred another league game to try and get over Saturday because we go there against the underdogs and they've got nothing to lose and we've got everything to lose.
"I had a good run in the FA Cup last year at Macclesfield.
"We beat Cardiff in the third round and then we played Wigan, we lost 1-0 but we didn't deserve to lose and they ended up going on to win it.
"Anything can happen in the FA Cup, we've got to go there in the right frame of mind."
