RADCLIFFE Boro manager Kevin Glendon can't wait for the weekend to come so his side can sustain the momentum gained by outplaying the UniBond Premier's League leaders, North Ferriby United, last weekend.

Despite going down to a 2-1 defeat, Glendon was gushing with pride after his side once again dominated a game against a team considered to be one of the better sides in the division.

However, Glendon's pride was tempered by the result and the fact his side are suffering because they haven't a natural finisher to complement Steve Foster up-front.

The manager said: "I was really pleased with the way the lads played and I wanted to play again on Tuesday to keep the momentum going. I didn't want to wait seven days.

"If we play like we did on Saturday every week, we won't be in relegation trouble for long. After the game last weekend, North Ferriby's manager Brian France congratulated me and admitted we dominated.

"It annoyed me a bit because I want the points, not compliments. I can enjoy things like that when we are clear of the position we find ourselves in now."

The manager admits that he is starting to worry and is hoping hard work on the training ground will be key to turning the tide.

"I'd be foolish if I wasn't about our position. I hate it when people say that we're too good to go down, because that is true of no team. But, I think we will be okay," admitted Glendon.

"We just need to start finishing teams off. We are dominating every week but not taking our chances. That is because we haven't got the firepower up-front. Fozzie (Steve Foster) is working hard but he needs help.

"I was telling the players in training that everyone needs to take some responsibility. The defenders and midfielders are just as important when we have corners and free-kicks.

"We do plenty of shooting practice every week, but it's hard to replicate what goes on once you step on the pitch.

"But, we have to get on with it. We can't feel sorry for ourselves.

"Saying that, the confidence within the camp is excellent. Sometimes, you would think we are top of the league.

"The lads know they are getting the better of teams. We just need the results to start reflecting that."

Glendon has been on the phone all week trying to sign a new striker and admits that his Christmas signing Jamie Miller is not ready to be pitched into a relegation battle just yet after a long injury lay-off.

He said: "Jamie is not match fit and I see him more as a prospect for next season now.

"It was a case of signing him before anyone else did really. He is coming back from a very serious injury and we want to make sure he is fully fit before we bring him in.

"The same goes for my new signings Phil Salt and Matty O'Neil. They will be playing for us now but I have also got one eye on next season with them on board."
