Hayes & Yeading v Welling

Manager Andy Ford will look to his squad members to come to the fore again for Welling on Saturday.

The Wings sit third in Blue Square South following four wins in five games at the start of the new campaign.

Injuries have hit Ford's squad hard and he was forced into major changes against Fisher on Bank Holiday Monday.

However, the impressive displays of Lee Blackburn, Frankie Chappell and Ryan Johnson left Ford singing their praises.

Ford said: "All three players that came in contributed well to the game. They realised that they've got to perform to keep the shirt.

"It's hard when they are not playing every week, even more so when you are performing well and they are sat on the sidelines not getting much attention."

Ford, who hopes to welcome back Graeme Andrews from a dead leg but is without Sonny Cobbs (hamstring), believes Hayes & Yeading will provide even tougher opposition than Thurrock and Fisher.

He added: "We've had them watched and it's going to be difficult. We've got to be able to deal with things that are thrown with us during the season.

"But sometimes the younger players go with no fear and that can work in our favour."
