CRADLEY Town chairman Trevor Thomas says his team are facing a difficult period due to the club's ongoing injury troubles.
The Hammers are currently without a host of players, including key men Oli Oatley and Chris Bladen. Forward James Welnitschuk has also been struggling for fitness so far this campaign.
"We have a lot of injury worries at the moment," said Thomas. "We are missing the backbone of our side and are a little disjointed."
Cradley continued their poor form when losing 2-1 at home to Wolverhampton Sporting Community last Saturday.
They will now face an away fixture against Black Country Rangers this Saturday.
Thomas admitted that the club may look for new recruits if the current injury crisis continues.
