GARY Mills, Phil Stant, Shaun Cunnington, Colin Addison -- which high-profile name will land the job of saving Worcester City's Nationwide North skin.

That's what the job description now reads following yet another debacle on the pitch, this time at Worksop Town who registered a 2-0 season's double over City.

Saturday's display was as depressing as it has been for some time, City mauled by the Tigers without putting up much of a fight.

While Worcester showed desire in the aftermath of John Barton's sudden exit against Harrogate Town and Tamworth, there were sad signs this time around that those in white and blue were running short of heart.

The players looked thoroughly dispirited at Babbage Way, especially so chasing the game after Mark Wilson's opening goal for the hosts. All motivation was lost.

Strikers Leon Kelly and Adam Webster barely got a kick, let alone a shot on goal, while wide players Tom Warmer and Aleksejs Volosanovs tried but failed miserably to send over a decent cross for the front pairing.

The defensive trio were not without their flaws either. Barry Woolley's poor clearance led to Wilson's strike and Colin Hoyle and captain Carl Heeley left too many gaps for Worksop to exploit.

At the heart of it all, caretaker boss John Snape struggled to inspire his side from central midfield, and he admitted that a new manager is desperately needed to inject hunger back into the team.

Snape said: "I was more disappointed with Saturday than I was with the other two games. I think people are looking over their shoulder and are feeling sorry for themselves now that John Barton has gone.

"The referee said afterwards it was one of the easier games he has done. There was hardly any fight from either side and we can't hide behind that.

"I did not feel the performance was acceptable and that was from everybody. Not many people came out of it with any plusses, but I always look for the positives. Alex (Volosanovs) got through 90 minutes and did quite well and Danny McDonnell did well in the second- half. He made some great saves and kept us in it.

"As far as the rest of the players are concerned, including myself, it just was not good enough."

What is more worrying is that Snape believes several players are lacking motivation following the recent painful chain of events.

"I think a few players could not get themselves up for the game", added Snape. "Maybe that's my job, but sometimes it's difficult under the circumstances. Maybe the new manager can change all that or bring in his own players. It's crying out for that.

"A lot of players at the club have never been in this situation before. The fact that we are in freefall, it's a new experience for them. It will be a good experience for them in the long run, but not at the moment it's not."
