Harrogate Town's poor form continued with a humiliating FA Cup second qualifying round upset as Bradford Park Avenue beat them 4-0 on Saturday.
Left-winger Luke Gibson scored a hat-trick while striker Chris Hall scored one and terrorised the Town defence.
Town manager Simon Weaver told BBC York: "These youngsters are looking very, very raw indeed. We've given them a chance and they may have to move on."
Weaver lectured his side out on the pitch for 30 minutes after the game.
Poor defending led to Hall's opener and Gibson's second strike, but no-one could do anything about Gibson's fantastic 30-yard strike for his first goal.
I've got to assess everyone's performance over the last few weeks, over the next 48 hours and make radical changes

The winger completed hit hat-trick for the Unibond League side with a mis-hit shot that wrong-footed keeper Stephen Hernandez.
Bradford could have doubled their tally had they not been so wasteful in front of goal, particularly after the break.
Harrogate fielded two debutants with Peter Holmes missing Town's only first-half chance, when he headed over the bar, while James Knowles was ineffective due to poor service.
Town's three substitutes, Olly Ryan, Luke Durham and Zeph Thomas gave them some spark, with Thomas and Ryan going close near the end.
"It was a very encouraging performance," said Bradford manager Lee Sinnott. "In the second half we kept on taking the game to Harrogate, we didn't sit back being 3-0 up."
After only one league win in six, Sinnott revealed: "The trick is getting the players confident and performing how they are capable of doing. We're a better team when we're playing on the front foot."
Weaver added: "People have to do better in preparing themselves for a game or people will have to address whether they're good enough for this level.
"I've got to assess everyone's performance over the last few weeks, over the next 48 hours and make radical changes, it's as simple as that."
