Jimmy Boyle has ordered his Airdrieonians players to keep the back door shut. 

​

The Diamonds have conceded six goals in their last two games – although they remain unbeaten so far this season.

​

Airdrie drew 3-3 with Forfar Athletic at Station Park on Saturday in their SPFL League One opener.

​

And Boyle wants defensive lessons to be learned ahead of this weekend's visit of Stenhousemuir.

​

He said: "This has become a little bit of a problem already and we have spoken about it with the players.

​

"Maybe they haven't been listening. We can't afford to give teams a start and that is something we will need to work on.

​

"What we need to do is keep that back door shut and try and keep the ball a bit better. That's what we will be working on."

​

On the result at Forfar, Boyle added: "When you come away from home and score three goals you are looking for three points. It's a hard one to take to not get them."
