Blues boss Simon Garner has backed the club’syoungsters tosucceedatShawbridge.


li- '


While Clitheroe have won just once in io league outings, losing- sevenin that sequence; Garner believes his talented proteges


v^jwill eventually shrugoff their ^--inexperience and mature in to-


: ■ prominent and influential play- ^ ersatEvo-Stik level.


f, 'After flirting with the play- . offs for a period, the Blues have


now dropped to mid-table fol-


- lowing the latest defeat agiainst H arrogate Railway Athletic at Station View. “Wearealwaysworkinghard


to improve the sequence," Gar­ ner said. “We are determined to get points on the board again. We’ve been hit with inconsist­ ency in team selection in recent ■ weeks though. We haven’t been able to start the same XI every - week due to injuries, suspeh- - sions:and.departures which,'-


.hasn’thelpedus. '■ “When we beat top.of the;, league Warrington we thought.


we’d cracked it but we’ve got a lot of pliers who haven’t played at this level before. They need games and time to adapt. Hope- fuUywe’Ustartgettingsomecon-


' sistency in bur starting XI and . thenresultswillpickup.Results and performances have forced


■ my hand, but most changes have ■ been enforced.” -: ; :


. ; . Gamer added: “We are look- -


ing for local lads who want to do well and have the right atti- tude. It’s going to take time but


, there’s a base there now. We’ve' l got a great set of lads at the club-, and I’m more than confident :


-that they have the ability to help us turn the corner. I’m willing to back my own judgement and •


- say thatwe’llget there, and these players will be very good at Evo-


i Stiklevel.’ . ' “I know I’ve got the lads that


can improve our situation. It’s


awfid when you’re on a run like this. though this feels worse than anything I ever experi­ enced as a player.' Because l’in the manager everything is on my shoulders and it feels twice asbad.Ihatelosing.Iwanttowin as many games as I can) but lean seethebiggerpictureiongterm.”


. -The Blues host high-flying


Ramsbottom United at Shaw---, bridge on Saturday, with kick-off at 3 p.m. Anthony Johnson and


. Bernard Morley’s side have won eight of their last 10 First Divi- sionNorthfixtures,andhavefor- mulatedastructurethatGarnef admires and aspires to.. • - “We couldn’t get a tougher


. game in our current predica- ' ment,”.he said. “They are on a great run of form and pushing - for the top five. The last time we played them they went in to the


. fixture on the back of a 7-1 win;: .-■ and this time they go in to it on -


the back of an 8rO win. There’s no reason why we can’t go and throw a spanner in the works though and get a result. These are the games we want to be in- volvedin.


; “We need to get something


out of the game but we know it’s going to be difficult. They are a great side and I know a lot of the lads there. They are a club you can aspire to because they’ve got acloseknitteamthathaveplayed a lot of games together. They’re a great club with good p eople. The club has a similar model to what I’m building toward.” .
