The next "two or three" games are likely to decide whether AFC Telford boss Steve Kittrick dips back into the transfer market this season.

The Bucks chief, whose team were due to host Alfreton today, has made several changes to the squad following his arrival in December in a bid to halt their slide towards relegation.

But he is unlikely to add more than one more new face before the loan window closes next month and said his transfer policy will now be dictated to largely by how well the team fares in the next few matches.

Kittrick, whose team are bottom of the Conference Premier, said: "I'll see how we go in the next two or three games. We have got a month to decide what we are doing. It is a case of seeing who comes available to a degree.

"I have had a load people offered to me yesterday but it is a case of waiting and seeing where we are and seeing what we need".

Kittrick has already brought in Jack Rea from Bradford Park Avenue, John Disney from Chester, Ben McLaughlin on loan from Everton and Glenn Matthews on loan from Bolton as well as ex-Derry City midfielder Danny Ventre, as well as Ian Sharps on loan from Burton Albion, Callum Preston on loan from Birmingham and Ross Dyer on loan from Halifax.

Having already been backed with funds in the January transfer window and the loan window, Kittrick warned that he is unlikely to make further additions unless the team's form improves. He said: "If we need somebody and we are doing well, then I am sure they will let me fetch somebody in but I am not going to fetch someone in for the sake of it."
