BLUES boss Peter Smith is expecting to add three new faces to his sqiiad in time for Saturday’s trip to Radcliffe


Borough. Smith has been forced into


i l l


the market after losing the services of key players to high­ er league opposition. Winger Danny Williams, who had scored nine goals this season for the Shawbridge outfit, was the latest riarne; to abandon the Rlbble Valley,-as he chose ' to niove up a tier with Kendal Town. Mark Jackson also departed

Smalley and Lydon Hodgkiss will all be unavailable in the coming weeks. ; Smith said: “We are down to the bare bones, so it’s diffi­ cult. I’ve now got Chris Smalley away for two games, and Lydon Hodgkiss is serving a suspen­ sion. It’s just one after another,’ and we can’t cope with it. The loss of these players has taken its toll on us: “We’ve got plenty of young


players, but you need that balance o f both youth and

weekend, as they went down to a 70th-minute Sam Walker strike against Woodley Sports. Now Smith wants a response, as a huge game against Chester is on the horizon. “I was disappointed,” Smith


said. “We didn’t open them up or create any chances, so that hoodoo at home continues. We are not performing, which is why our home record is so poor. I want to win as many games as I can, and help Clitheroe finish as high as possible.vWe’ve got to keep battling away. We’ve got a big game on Saturday, and hopefully, if we can pick up a result there, we can set ourselves up to cause an upset against Chester oil Tuesday.” '
