Gingell wants to strengthen Corsham squad
CORSHAM Town manager Mel Gingell reckons he will have to add to his squad as they bid to keep the pressure on leaders Truro City at the top of the Toolstation League Premier Division.
Corsham face a busy March programme of up to to a dozen games and Gingell believes they will struggle without some new faces.
He said: "We've got about 12 games next month and it's too much. The squad isn't big enough."

Gingell has already brought in Lee Salter, from Hellenic League Trowbridge Town, and Aaron Billett, from Toolstation League First Division neighbours Westbury United, and has given youth team goalkeeper Anthony Brown half a game in the midweek Les Phillips Cup game with Bitton.
Said Gingell: "We've got to get another goalkeeper in from somewhere, although I was really chuffed for the young lad Brown. He's dead keen."
With a packed fixture programme coming up, Gingell was not too concerned with the 3-1 defeat by Bitton in the Les Phillips Cup, especially as Corsham remain in the Wiltshire Senior Cup.
Gingell said: "I'm not bothered with either cup, they aren't my priority, the league's my priority.
The Corsham manager said his team performed credibly against Bitton despite a lack of personnel.
"We had too many players out so I wasn't too disappointed. I thought we played quite well with what we had out there.
"We conceded two stupid goals early on due to a lack of understanding, but from then on we played well. Simon Gray scored a good goal before half-time and we were on top. We just didn't have the experience in the end.
"I gave the fringe players a run out and swapped the goalkeepers at half-time.
