HAVING put their floodlight problems behind them, East Thurrock United play their delayed FA Trophy replay with Tonbridge Angels at Rookery Hill on Tuesday evening.
Rocks will be buoyed by their 3-1 victory against Margate on Saturday and though a couple of members of his squad are cup-tied, co-manager Lee Patterson will be delighted the week's delay forced by the non-functioning floodlights will have allowed a couple of players to get over niggling injuries and illness.
Mick Stanbrook, who missed Saturday's win through injury, could well be recalled to the squad, though he may find it difficult to displace central either Garry Wotton, who returned from a trip to the middle east and impressed on Saturday, or Danny Dafter who has performed well in previous Trophy matches.
Up front Tony Boot is likely to have shrugged off the lingering effect of flu that kept him on the bench until the closing moments of Saturday's match.
