Saints are bottom of the National League South after 19 games and Allinson has already brought in Jamie Fielding on loan from Stevenage as well as Munashe Sundire from Hemel Hempstead Town as he looks for the right combination of players.

"Most of the better players are already signed up at other clubs.

"But I've seen a change in the way we're playing and the way we're creating chances. We have to do that more often."
