JIM Bentley has vowed to ring the changes as he bids to end Southport's abysmal winless run and beat the drop from National League North.
The Sangrounders haven't tasted victory since March, and began the weekend four points adrift of safety after taking just one point from their opening six games.
Long-serving manager Liam Watson voluntarily moved upstairs last month after admitting they needed "fresh blood" in the dugout.
Now it has arrived in the shape of Bentley, and the former Morecambe, Fylde and Rochdale boss says the current crop must prove they can dig themselves out of trouble - or else.
"I know from my time at Fylde that the squad here is decent," said Bentley, who won promotion to the Football League as a player with Morecambe in 2007.
