Stafford Rangers assistant manager Chris Brindley (pictured) felt his side should have won Saturday’s game at Workington.

And probably after going 2-0 up inside the first ten minutes he has some justification.

But he has encouraged his side to be more ruthless if they want a chance of success in the Blue Square North campaign this season.

Rangers have conceded three goals in the season so far and remain unbeaten but he feels the results should have been far more positive by now.

Ex-Wolves defender Brindley says: “Nothing will drastically change ahead of the weekend but we will be urging the players to be more ruthless.

"If you are a striker one-on-one with the opposition you should score, if you're a centre half you should be heading a stray ball away. It is simple as that.

"It was a good performance against Workington but it could have been miles better. To go all that way and come back with a point when we should have won is disappointing, but we will get over it.

"We could have had a perfect start to the season but it has not happened. That's football. But maybe Farsley should have come away from Marston Road on the opening day with a point.

"I agree we should have won our last two games, that's for sure."

Gary Whild, manager of Redditch United, has recruited former Walsall prospect Chris Hanna to boost his attack.

Hanna had spent part of last season out on loan with Hednesford Town and appeared to be heading for Blue Square Premier newcomers Kettering Town this term after doing pre-season with the Poppies.

Whild revealed: “I tried to get him on loan at Redditch while he was with Walsall.

“It looked as though he was joining Kettering, but for some reason, a deal never materialised.

“Chris was aware that I was interested in him and got in touch with one of my players Graham Deakin, as the pair were together at Walsall.”

Redditch will visit Borough Park on September 6 for a fixture with Workington, which has tended to be explosive in the past.
