Barry Corr says Cambridge United need stability from the next head coach following defeats in their last three matches since he was made interim boss.

Corr was put in charge when Neil Harris left for Millwall after just 17 games at the League One club.

But they have lost to Peterborough, Stevenage and Bolton - all top-six teams - without scoring a goal.

"For the most part we were competitive in the three games," Corr told ����ý Radio Cambridgeshire.

"But we didn't have quite enough. If you can pick up points in those (games), it helps, but it doesn't determine our season."

Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Bolton - their fourth in a row, including Harris' final game - left the U's 19th in the table.

They are just four points above the relegation places, and Cheltenham and Port Vale, of the teams below them, have a game in hand.

"They need stability, they need to know that this is the man in charge and he's here for long-term - that will definitely help the players," he added.

The Irishman was also briefly in interim charge when Harris' predecessor Mark Bonner was sacked in November.

"In this situation, you go into it, you don't have training minutes, there wasn't much I was going to be able to change in that time, there's a big injury list and the fixtures were difficult," Corr said.

"I've learned lots but I also know what football is and if you want to make a big difference, you need to be able to manipulate training sessions to get what you want and get your ideas across.

"We've just been playing, recovering and then playing again. Most of the work we did was just on a blackboard and it's not my place as an interim coach to make big changes.

"For the most part it was just put them into the shape, and have a style and strategy that they're used to.

"The new man that comes in definitely has a good group of players to work with, I'm sure of that."
