Mick Jenkins and his coaching staff will use the visit of the side newly-promoted to the Conference - which has a 2pm kickoff on Saturday -to look at Matt read and Gavin McCallum.

Read, still only aged 20, was at Upton Park as a youngster
before a spell at Barnet. He spent much of last season with Tonbridge Angels in the Ryman premier league.

Also likely to start the Eastbourne game is Canadian under-20 international striker Gavin McCallum, also 20.

He was at Havant & Waterlooville for part of last season after spells with Weymouth, Crawley Town, Yeovil Town and Dorchester Town.

The rest of the side is likely to be the same as the one which faced Brighton on Tuesday night - with Alex Fisher partnering McCallum up front and the defence and midfield unchanged from Tuesday's starting line-up.

Jenkins, Andy Awford and Darin Killpartrick are still working with general manager Jack Pearce on other potential recruits.

Jenkins said: "It will be a similar line-up to Tuesday's and those who don't get much of a look-in this time will against Gosport on Tuesday night.

"There was much to be encouraged about on Tuesday and this will be another difficult one for us.

"Gary Wilson and Nick Greenwood have worked wonders at Eastbourne and have built a very good squad - it's not easy getting promoted out of Conference South, which they have achieved.

"We look forward to welcoming them to Bognor."

It looks like keeper Aaron Howe - who played in the loss to Brighton for the Rocks - has decided to go to hayes & Yeading.

We'll have a report on the Eastbourne game on this website on Saturday night.
