THERE'S no doom and gloom at Cirencester Town despite a run of three successive defeats that has dropped them onto the fringes of the Dr Martens Western DIvision title picture.

Losses to Halesowen, Sutton Coldfield and Gloucester City have taken the steam out of Brian Hughes' men but the manager is remaining upbeat ahead of tomorrow's home sixth-versus-seventh clash with Bromsgrove.

"We need a result and I'd be lying if I said we didn't,'' admitted Hughes.

"We looked at the last three games and knew they would be tough, although we didn't expect to come out of them with nothing.

"But there is no doom and gloom. I still believe in the lads.

"They haven't been as fluent as earlier this season, but teams like Halesowen and Gloucester are just a little bit ahead of us at the moment.''

Hughes has a full squad to pick from and Ciren could leap back into second, if they win and results go their way.
