DAVE Busst will be looking for the kind of response from his players that brought three points against Aylesbury at the start of September.

That was the last time the Robins won a match and, that after the manager had issued a stark warning to his charges about their level of performance.

"They've got a lot to make up for after last Saturday's display," the Common Road chief declared. "However, we can't get rid of players until we can find ones to replace them. That's how it's been for a month. There have been obstacles in our way but we will keep on looking."

Busst revealed that he had put in the required seven days on three players but he admitted that there will be no new faces for this weekend's double-header at home to Bedford on Saturday and at Team Bath on Monday night (7.45).

Lee Knight, though, is expected to be involved, while Stuart Hamilton's recovery from a thigh problem was being assessed at training.

Flu victims Matty Hall and Jamie Bailey are both expected to be back in contention and both could be involved from the start.

Busst revealed the reasons behind his half-time double change - that could have a bearing on selection for Saturday.

"Richie (Robinson) was having a stinker, while we needed options coming in from the left as there was no supply from that part of the pitch," the boss recalled.

Saturday's match is being sponsored by Eurofoods of Selby and the ball by G R Hughes, Four Pools Road.
