Mark Dunning has no intention of quitting struggling Brighton Bears.

But Bears' coach admits he is running out of ideas as he looks to turn their season around.

Bears have won just one of their last ten games ahead of tomorrow's final Uni-ball Trophy group game against London Leopards at the Triangle (7pm).

"If I didn't think I was doing a good job I'd quit, but that is not the case,' said Dunning. "It's just that at the moment our results are poor."

Dunning says he has tried everything in an effort to help Bears improve their performances.

"We've changed our pre-game routine, I've had our sports psychologist Matt Stevens in to give them motivational talks and this week they have had less practice and more time off," he said.

"I've tried virtually everything I know from 20 years' experience and some things I don't, but we are running out of ideas."

Dunning still has the wholehearted support of his squad. Co-captain Daniel Hildreth is the latest player to come to his defence.

"We, the players, are to blame and if we do not perform it is us who should be replaced," said Hildreth.

Bears are already out of the Uni-ball Trophy, but a win tomorrow against the Southern Conference leaders would certainly boost confidence ahead of next Wednesday's league match against Birmingham.

Dunning said: "A win would lift the whole atmosphere. Everyone is devastated with the results at the moment, but the guys have shown they are good enough on occasions this season and it's down to them to show that on a more regular basis."

Bears are still without co-captain Michael Brown who will be out for at least another three weeks after tearing his thigh muscle in training.
