Martin Allen has had a week to decide who to keep at Whaddon Road

Cheltenham Town manager Martin Allen has made six first-team players available for transfer.

Jerry Gill, Lee Ridley, Josh Low, Craig Armstrong, Aaron Ledgister and Andy Lindegaard have all been told they can leave the League One club.

Manager Martin Allen told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: "I'm not knocking their attitudes they've been spot on, so it's nothing personal."

Allen has also dispensed with three part-time members of his backroom team.

And the Robins boss added: "The results, quite clearly, have not been good enough so you have to try and make some changes."

Most of the good players that are available are wanted by other clubs as well, so we are up against it Martin Allen

Fitness coach Martin Alps, video analyst Jason Murphy and chief scout Kieran Scarff are all looking for new jobs, as Allen tries to maximise the amount he can spend on his playing squad.

With the transfer window closed until January, Allen's options to bring in new faces are largely restricted to the loan market and he admits it is an area he will continue to look to exploit.

"I'm working hard at the moment to try and get some people in, but most of the good players that are available are wanted by other clubs as well, so we are up against it - most other clubs can pay more money than Cheltenham," he said.

"I'm happy so far with Drissa Diallo and Scott Murray but there's still more to come I hope," he added.
