Scott Porter targets new player as Hythe Town return to top five
by Andrew Gidley
Scott Porter is looking to
bolster his squad with another signing as Hythe maintained
their push for the Ryman League Division 1 South play-offs
with a 1-0 win at Burgess Hill on Wednesday
night.
Striker Brendon Cass scored
the winner for the second successive game at Leylands Park,
the victory putting them fifth in the
table.
Boss Porter (pictured) is ready to
move as Nick Barnes is still waiting for a scan on his knee injury
and has put in a seven-day approach on another midfielder
with a rival club.
He is also watching the
situation surrounding on-loan Gillingham striker Ashley Miller
after the teenager was made available on a free transfer by the
League 2 leaders.
Miller completes his first
month at Reachfields on Saturday when Hythe travel to
Leatherhead.
Porter watched the Surrey club lose
4-1 at Ramsgate on Tuesday.
He said: "It is always beneficial
to watch future opponents and get a heads-up on
them.
"Ramsgate got in their faces,
stopped them playing and they didn’t like it. They also conceded
three goals from set pieces."
Porter said: "A few results went
our way on Saturday and again on Tuesday night but things are
getting tight and we have got to capitalise on our games in
hand."
Jake Hobbs is unavailable on
Saturday and Porter hopes the rest will help ease his troublesome
hamstring problem.
