DAVE Busst's worst fears were realised as Shepshed won for the first time in 17 att-empts last Saturday.

The Western Divis-ion's basement side easily overcame the Robins who were woeful in attack and were then found out at the back in the final 20 minutes when two goals heaped more misery on United.

Craig Pountney's una-vailability and the ren-eging of a deal struck with Redditch to loan out Lee Ross saw Danny James start alongside Simon Marsh.

The makeshift strikers proved easy meat for the big Dynamo defenders and only the early second half introduction of newcomer Andy Hamm-ett injected some life into a lacklustre forward line.

The former Bristol Rovers' triallist was twice denied by visiting keeper Andy Harland but opposite number Damien Beattie was helpless to prevent his former club collecting three welcome points.

The deadlock was broken 20 minutes from time when Martin Emery fired the ball past Beattie after fine work down the right from Matthew Dorrian.

The clincher arrived six minutes from time when Simon Forsdick set up Scott MacKay whose rising strike gave Beattie no chance.

Jay Powell hit a post late on - significant that it was a defender who came closest to scoring against a side with the section's second worst defensive record prior to Saturday's programme!
