Last updated : 14 December 2006 By Editor
Talking to the Mansfield CHAD this week, Shirtliff said "Some of my players are playing for their futures and I have made them very aware of that," he said.

"This season is still a long way from over and yet everything is doom and gloom - I can't believe it.

When talking about the recent drop in home attendances and some of the reaction received due to some poor performances, he went on to say "I am disappointed with the crowds as I think we have performed well at home this season.

"We are doing okay - better than last year - and we are certainly on course, points per games, to stay in the League.

"We just need to get performing and get some points on the board to push on.

"There have been disappointments this season, no doubt about it. Certain individuals have not performed how they can and if they can get back to form and regain their confidence then we should be okay.

"I can't do anything now until January in terms of changing things. But this is an important time when we can get points on the board.
