Bangor manager Lee Feeney admits the club's season won't be defined by games against the league's top sides as they prepare to host Coleraine on Saturday afternoon.
The game comes hot on the heels of last Friday night's game at Clandeboye Park, which the Blues won 3-0.
“Our season won’t be defined by games against the likes of Linfield and Coleraine,” the Bangor manager told the County Down Spectator's Neil Watson.
“Just like last Friday night, we want to compete and make a game of it but we know it is going to be difficult for us. Coleraine have a quality squad with some top players and we will have to be at our very best on Saturday afternoon.
“It’s already looking like a mini-league within the Premiership and we know everyone expects us to be at the bottom of that. It’s up to us to keep working hard, to keep learning and to ultimately prove people wrong.
“There are games we will want to target and if we can get something from a game against teams at the top of the league then it will be a big bonus for us.”
The north Down side competed well against David Healy's side before losing 3-0.
