IT has been a difficult start to the season.

We all thought the club had gelled with a new board, a new manager and a new squad.

We got four points from our opening two matches but perhaps that led us to feel a false sense of security.

It takes time for everybody to gel and, over the last four games we have been found wanting, especially in the match at Burton and, at times, against Oxford.

We have been trying everything to score an elusive goal but it has not happened. We need to turn things around quickly. I am going to try to go into the loan market this week with the aim of bringing in fresh faces for Saturday. When players are not putting the ball in the back of the net it puts added pressure on the defence. There has been a lack of confidence in front of goal, particularly over the last two games.

We have five strikers in the club but, for one reason or another, it just hasn't clicked.

Even when we played poorly at Burton, we created a couple of chances but we did not take them.

As a group we need to address these issues and I feel we need to bring in some fresh faces. I think we need to bring in at least one defender, an influential midfielder and we also need someone with a knack of goal-scoring. We definitely need new players in by Saturday to give us fresh faces and some belief that we can get through the next month with goals and points. You only need to win two games and everything looks completely different.

Bury have conceded seven goals in their last two games and there's an opportunity for us to break our run of matches without a goal.

We have to get our house in order to make sure we do the right things and keep believing in ourselves.

The chairman has been fantastic to me and we both agree that we have to make sure we get things right.

We are only six games into the new season and we have got 40 games remaining. We are going to win games and e're going to start scoring goals.

We have to make sure it happens sooner rather than later and, hopefully, that will start at Bury on Saturday.
