Deal Town boss Derek Hares bemoaned his lack of striking options after his side slipped to their third defeat in a row.

Hares (pictured) was yet again forced to name a defender up front in Roy Guiver and the absence of a more accomplished option cost them dear as they fell to a 3-0 defeat at home to Greenwich on Saturday.

Hares said: "We’ve got a massive problem up front. We created lots of chances but when you’ve got a defender playing up there, it’s always going to be difficult.

"In the last three defeats we’ve created five or six good chances but we seem not to be able to take them."

However, finding a solution is far from easy.

Hares said: "I can’t do anything about it. We have been missing both Mo Takaloo and Shane Suter and don’t have any money to bring anyone in.

"When we go behind it’s difficult to see where we’re going to score from and that’s a big problem.
