FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round, Diss Town 1 Walsham-le-Willows 2: An angry Robert Taylor has vowed to make changes at Diss, after seeing his team crash out of the FA Cup at the first hurdle on Saturday.
Despite being knocked out by team a division higher and having several players unavailable, the Tangerines boss insists Town's three-game winless start to the season is not good enough.
"Terrible" said Taylor, in his candid description of Saturday's performance.
"The players that were available did not do themselves any favours. At the end of the day I'm looking to bring in players anyway because we have to make our squad stronger.
"Certain players aren't doing their jobs properly – there is not enough talking out there.
"The second half improved but it was nothing to shout about. I'm not happy with it.
"I'm going to start bringing players in, I've told the players here that, and if they don't buck their ideas up they will be on their way."
Two players who could be making their way out of Brewers Green Lane are Supporters' Player of the Season Steve Best and right-back Josh Hull, who Taylor said would face fines after not turning up for Saturday's match, despite being named in the squad.
Best is undecided about his future after an approach from another club, while Hull is frustrated with not making the Town team and stormed off before the previous game against Gorleston, when he was not named in the 16.
Taylor said: "Steve can't go anywhere at the moment, he's under contract and we want him to stay.
"Josh hasn't been here pre-season and thought he should have played against Gorleston.
