ROSSENDALE United players held a team meeting last night to try to talk their way out of trouble.

Manager Mark Molyneaux arranged for his UniBond First Division strugglers to get together, without the management team present, to discuss where they think they are going wrong this season and how it can be rectified.

The Stags, who entertain fellow strugglers Belper Town tomorrow, have won only three games all season and have conceded eight goals in their last two games.

Molyneaux said: "We cancelled training last night and just told all the lads to have a meeting and thrash things out - get whatever they need to say off their chest," he said.

"If myself or Wayne (Goodison) were there then maybe they would hold back."
