Saints are not sinners, says Davies

Chris Sharp

DESPITE having two players sent-off in the last two games, manager Mike Davies insists his Saints are no sinners.

Striker Chris Sharp misses Saturday's visit of Carmarthen Town to Park Hall as he completes a two-match ban, and there is possibly more punishment to come after a disrepute charge from the FA of Wales.
And defender Tommy Holmes starts a three-match ban after being dismissed for violent conduct in the 2-1 defeat at Llanelli.
But Davies is backing his side to return to winning ways despite the absence of the suspended duo: "Discipline has let us down in the last two games but it is not a problem," he says.
"Chris Sharp was really unlucky, to send him off was a woeful decision and hopefully we'll never see that ref again.
"And it was out of character for Tommy, he was devastated at what happened and knows there are no excuses."
The Saints are bolstered by the arrival of new signing Richie Partridge, a free agent who completed a move on Friday after considerable Football League experience.
He is certain to be included in the squad to face the Old Gold with Phil Baker, Aeron Edwards, Craig Jones and Chris Marriott all sidelined through injury.
And a reminder to supporters that the game kicks-off at 2.00pm!
