NEIL Kirkpatrick has warned his Trowbridge Town side he may be forced to bring in new players as he loses patience with his current crop.

The Bees boss was delighted with Saturday's win, which moved them into fourth position in the Hellenic League First Division, but is now facing more selection problems for tomorrow's trip to Hook Norton.

Kirkpatrick has been blighted by unavailability problems both last campaign and the start of this, with seven players missing tomorrow.

He accepts injuries cannot be helped but believes there are too many players missing matches for other reasons and admits it cannot go on.

He said: "It is becoming a nightmare. I get a player back one week and then another goes missing, it is so frustrating.

"To some of us this is far more than a hobby but unfortunately for others that it is all it is. How we can get a settled side when players are constantly unavailable?

"I might have to start seriously looking at bring in some players that can commit full time and if they perform they will keep their shirts."

Adrian Barnes scored two and Chris Tricker one on Saturday as Trowbridge coasted to a comfortable victory.

Andy Bloodworth and Dan Barnes are injured tomorrow while Matt Penman, Waleed Bakali, Dave Mitchell, Matt Brown and Matt Cooper are all unavailable.
