Salisbury Say Their Mentality Is ‘Go Out To Win The League’

The new arrivals aren’t talking about simply survival and the boss reckons aiming for the stars is the only way to attack things.

The name of Salisbury will appear in National League fixture lists for the first time since 2010.

Then playing as City, the club were demoted after failing to settle with creditors and soon reformed - but critically keeping their home, they will ten years after their darkest day when it seemed all hope was lost.

So you can forgive Dutton for wanting to make the post of it.

He told The Non-League Paper: “The club’s aim is to stay in the division and build on what was achieved last year.

“But the mentality of myself - and the mentality of what I was to instil into the squad - is that we go out there and try to win the league.

“We should try to win every single game. Our goals will be really high, but they are within the wall of the dressing room.”

The Whites’ season gets under way next Saturday with a trip to Hemel Hempstead Town.

The 39-year-old, in chance since 2022 when he replaced Steve Claridge, went on to say that recruitment has been demanding this summer.

He still wants to add a ball-playing central defender to his squad as they prepare for the big kick-off.
