Cambridge United are hoping to sign a striker before Tuesday's evening game at Hereford United.
Manager Rob Newman was disappointed his side could only draw with Gravesend yesterday.
"Anyone who's seen me this week will know I've done many miles watching games and many minutes on the phone speaking to clubs and players about coming here. We've still got three days left and I'm still hopeful that we're going to get a striker in before Tuesday's game because too many games like this have gone by," he told the Official Cambridge United website.
His quotes from the NLP back his need for extra fire-power.
"I could go on again about the strikers missing goals.
"Teams at the top would have taken those chances."
