MIDFIELDER Leon Blake is set to be the only summer casualty of Dave Titterton's team building at Stourport Swifts.

Titterton has room to bring in three or four new faces and has decided to axe Blake who he signed shortly after joining as manager.

The former Hinckley man has been sent off three times and is currently banned until the end of the season.

Titterton said: "Leon just hasn't learnt. I will have been without one of our better players for around 11 games.

"It's not that he's disruptive in other ways, just purely the discipline side of things.

"You can only give people so many chances. I don't think he will change."

Swifts fell to another Dr Martens Western Division struggler on Saturday, losing 1-0 at Racing Club Warwick.

But they bounced back to draw 1-1 with county rivals Evesham on Monday after a roasting from Titterton.

The Swifts boss added: "We have taken four points out of six from Evesham, including an emphatic win on New Year's Day.

"They expected to turn the tables on Monday but we didn't let that happen and we deservedly got a point.

"We have to put things into perspective as teams such as Evesham have a budget for players more than double ours. We probably have the third or fourth lowest in the division."

Striker Duncan Willetts is a doubt with a knee injury for Saturday's home game against high-flying Mangotsfield who have bagged 103 league goals this season.
