IF YOU don’t take your chances and give sides easy goals like we did against Barwell, it will be a problem for you.

You defend as a team and it’s not just your back four. I don’t think we’re doing enough when we haven’t got the ball to win it back.

There was an altercation in the game and Shaun Lamb headbutted someone for some strange reason and all of a sudden, he was rightly sent off.

It then became a thankless task and I spoke before the game about discipline so when you go and do something like that, it not only kills me as a manager but it also kills your teammates.

We need to try and get back to grinding out results after two poor performances from our last two games but Banbury will be a tough place to go this weekend.

They’ve got a new manager this season in Adie Fuller and he’s brought a lot of good players in from his old clubs.

It’s an old-fashioned ground and the pitch isn’t always great so you’re going to have to play well to get something there.

We’ve had a lot of players on the bench who haven’t been fit in the last few weeks but they should be ready to come back now and challenge for first team places. No-one missed training on Tuesday night.

Jason Matthews got recalled by Bath and played for them on Tuesday too so if Kev (Sawyer) isn’t fit for Saturday, we may have to look to bring another person in to help us out in goal.

Ian Herring’s last game for us is this Saturday too. He came in when we had nine first-team players injured but whether we can keep him for longer is down to the financial situation.

I tried to get a lad in to the club in the last 10 days or so but he ended up going to one of the other sides chasing promotion.

What he’s getting a week is about 70 per cent of my weekly budget for the entire squad. It just shows what we’re up against.
