Matt Elliott could wield Rangers axe

Stafford Rangers manager Matt Elliott has admitted there's a "distinct possibility" he could ring the changes against Boston in the wake of the Hyde horror show.

Rangers were thumped 5-0 at home by their relegation rivals on Saturday and will again play in front of their own fans tonight, with the play-off chasing former Football League club the visitors.

And Elliott could wield the axe in response to their heaviest defeat of the season, with the manager hoping to welcome back Andre Francis and Mark Dudley after injury lay-offs.

Francis has missed the last four games with a knee injury, while Dudley has been out for a month after problems with his foot.

The Rangers boss is also hoping that Tyree Clarke will be passed fit despite coming off after just 28 minutes of Saturday's game, with a recurrence of a long-standing groin strain.

But change is likely to be afoot when the teams take to the field at Marston Road tonight, Elliott has hinted.

He said: "There's a distinct possibility but, whoever goes out there, I am looking for a massive improvement in commitment and energy levels than I saw on Saturday.

"It goes without saying that is not the required standard we need, we just didn't turn up. Why we were as bad as that I am not sure, but we have got to figure something out.

"Strangely enough, despite the disappointment of that result we are still in there with some sort of a shout but, if there are too many repeats of Saturday, we won't be in the picture for too long.

"There's no time for moping around, what's done is done and we have got to pick ourselves up."

Rangers will definitely miss Alex Forde, who sits out the last game of a three-match suspension.
