Hereford boss Paul Caddis has admitted he is trying to bring new faces to Edgar Street but has so far been unsuccessful.
Paul Caddis is trying to strengthen his side
The gaffer said finances play a part in why he has not signed players lately but is hopeful there could be a signing soon.
Speaking after the 2-0 loss at home to Oxford City, he said there had been two failed signings after he put in seven-day approaches for non-contracted players. He said the moves didn't happen due to the "financial side" of deals but the club are "constantly looking".
He admitted it's frustrating and he was looking at players from lower down the leagues - but not necessarily the best ones.
"We're looking at levels below because that's the market we're in and we're trying to get the best players there but the best players there are on contract and we won't go and pay fees.
"We are continuously looking."
Caddis also said the loan market is limited at the moment but was hopeful of one signing after the seven-day notice period expires.
When pushed for clarity by BBC Hereford and Worcester's Trevor Owens, he said one player had slipped through the net after being offered "better stuff elsewhere" but all hope was not lost.
He is hopeful to "come to an agreement" with another player but added: "We obviously can't speak to them like that until the seven days have expired so we won't know until the end of those seven days if we get them."
