ANDY Mole says confidence is key to Causeway United's hopes of improvement.

The injury crisis at The Grove has now eased a little and cup tied players are available again following last Saturday's 5-1 home defeat to Walsall Wood in the FA Vase.

Goals from Shawn Boothe, Corey Currithers, Ben Evans and Harry Harris handed Walsall a comfortable win.

Causeway's Nicholas Fellows did equalise to make it 1-1 before Walsall pulled well away.

United have now been boosted by the arrival forward Dreniz Bala has signed from Gornal Athletic.

Mole said: "It is good to have a few more options available but confidence needs to be lifted sooner rather than later.

"It is important that the players recapture the confidence they need to play to their best ability. If they can do that then we can hopefully start to improve.

"We are involved in three cup competitions so there will be plenty of opportunities."

Causeway will face Heath Hayes away this Saturday.
