Asked whether he will be looking to bring in any further fresh faces, he said: “That’s on the players’ toes, to be honest.
“We have had a lot of movement and that’s credit to the boys that they’ve coped with a lot of change, whether it’s manager, system, ways of doing things.

“But we want to try to settle it down a little bit now.”
But Murray was quick to warn that there will be no time for anyone with a long-term plan of playing for the club to rest on their laurels.
“We’ve got a strong group of players that are forming a real team spirit,” he added.

Josh Robinson will return from suspension as the Pilgrims travel to face Tamworth in the National League North on Saturday (KO 3pm).
Murray added: “We need to keep making us the best outfit we can be.
“If we’re at it we’re a test for anyone in this league.”
