Stafford Rangers manager Phil Robinson revealed his 12th new signing of the season in last night's derby with Kidderminster – Irish under-19s international Matt Hazley. The 20 year old midfielder has joined the Blue Square Premier club on a month's loan from neighbours Stoke City and made his debut in the 3-1 defeat by the Harriers. "He's a player I have watched quite a bit at Stoke. We lost Kevin Street and Del Olaoye, so I brought him in to give us a little bit of balance." Hazley couldn't prevent Rangers slipping to a second straight league defeat last night, but Robinson still had plenty of good things to say about his team's performance.

Hazley couldn't prevent Rangers slipping to a second straight league defeat last night, but Robinson still had plenty of good things to say about his team's performance.
"That was the best 45 minutes we have played since I have been at this club. We were sensational and we would have liked to have had it wrapped up by half time.
"The lads feel a little bit sorry for themselves that they haven't capitalised on that first 45 minutes. The scoreline flatters Kidderminster a bit – there was a dubious penalty decision against us.
"We did get a little bit out of shape late on, but on the whole, it was a very encouraging performance from us, although there are things we have to work on."
