Hurdman returns to Wrexham
COLWYN BAY manager Neil Young has today (Sept 23) let Matty Hurdman return to Wrexham while he tries to bring in a striker on loan from a Football League club.
Hurdman's loan period was due to finish on Saturday, but he has been allowed to return a few days early following Tuesday's League Cup defeat at Prescot.
Neil Young said the team's performance in that game reaffirmed the need for more strength in depth in certain areas.
"I am hoping to get a striker in on loan this week because we are not getting enough goals from our front men and are having to rely on Hops (Rob Hopley) far too much. We are also working hard to try and bring in another centre back.
"Going out of the League Cup is not a disaster because league promotion is our priority, but at the same time we are trying to get a winning mentality throughout the squad and we haven't got that at the moment. We gave lads who have not been in the side recently an opportunity to stake a claim for themselves at Prescot and they have let themselves down.
"We've played a lot of games in the last month and you can't expect the same players to keep doing it all the time, you have to have others who can be relied on to come in and do a job.
"The one positive thing to come out of the Prescot game was the return of Carl Clampitt. That was a late decision after he phoned me in the morning to say he had been cleared to play by the physio. We were only going to give him 60 minutes, but because of the circumstances we had to keep him on for the full game - and he seemed to come through it ok."
However, on the down side Stuart Graves and Tim Brandreth have both picked up groin injuries which could make them doubtful for Saturday's trip to Rossendale.
