NEWTOWN goalkeeper Andy Wycherley has endured a tough start to life with the Robins.
The summer signing was left red faced when he failed to trap a backpass from fellow new arrival Rob Evans with the ball trickling into an empty net during last week's 3-1 defeat against Penybont.
The own goal ensured no way back for Newtown who were consigned to opening day defeat in the JD Cymru Premier.

The own goal soon received social media attention with the opening day howler captured by the S4C cameras.
However the 25 year old ex-TNS youngster will be unfazed by the blunder having previously represented AFC Telford, Solihull Moors, Hednesford Town, Halesowen, Nantwich Town, Rushall and Barwell in the English non-league pyramid.
Wycherley will look to put the record straight in Friday night's clash at Caernargin Town.
