Poised to strike
The Magpies, who languish at the foot of Blue Square Bet South, have yet to score a single goal from open play this season. In order to rectify the situation, Vickers is eyeing a potential loan deal for an unnamed striker currently plying his trade in Blue Square Bet Premier. If successful, the mystery man could make his debut tomorrow, when the Hawks come to town. The county town chief, whose side also visit Hampton & Richmond on Monday (3pm), said: “We are looking at bringing in a striker on loan in time for tomorrow’s game. “I don’t want to say too much about him because it’s not a done deal yet and these things can come back and bite you. “He’s currently with a Conference National side but is a proven goalscorer at Conference South level. I’ve been calling in a few favours and hopefully we’ll get things sorted out for tomorrow. “The chairman Shaun Hearn has been great and is working hard to get this player in. “If he comes, he will be a great addition. However, it may mean that one or two have to go the other way.” Two players who have left the club, albeit on a temporary basis, are defender Jake Smeeton and midfielder Harry Nodwell. The former is back at Gillingham Town, having enjoyed a loan spell there last season, while the latter joins fellow Magpie Harry Montacute at Barnstaple. Vickers added: “They’ve both gone on month-long loans for now. We haven’t got a reserve side and it’s important they get games. “The respective clubs will pay some of their wages as well, which helps, and hopefully they’ll come back fit and better for it.” Looking forward to tomorrow’s encounter, in which the Magpies will be aiming to stop the rot of four straight defeats, Vickers said: “We just need that bit of composure to finish off the opportunities we’re getting. “We have been dominating games but we need to take our chances and cut out the individual errors. “I’m convinced that as soon as we get that first point, things will snowball for us – it’s about keeping the faith and the belief. “The chairman is backing me, which is great, and things will come around for us. “We’ve got no fresh injury worries, the only player out is still Gary Bowles (ankle) and hopefully he will be back playing in three weeks.” Magpies (from): Evans, Coward, R Hill, Frampton, Critchell, Martin, Walker, K Hill, Jermyn, Coutts, Gleeson, Crittenden, Devlin, Allen, Wilson, Moss, Douglas, Groves.
