Two new signings and loanes to return for Horsham's clash with Carshalton Athletic
The Hornets return to Bostik League South Division action at Lancing against the Londoners fresh from their humiliation in the FA Trophy on Saturday.
That 8-0 thumping by Cray Wanderers was Horsham's worst defeat for 35 years and manager Dominic Di Paola made no attempt at excuses despite missing a total of 12 players through injury or unavailability.

Goalkeeper Fernandes has joined for Southern Combination League side Arundel as extra cover with Josh James informing Di Paola he intends to take a break from football.
The manager said: "Josh has decided he does not want to play football, that's what he has said to us. It is a situation we need to rectify as Michael Hunter - with his availability - only ever came in as cover. It's not what we need, it's just problem after problem.
"We will see how James (Fernandes) goes. He has always been one that should have gone on and play higher when he was a youngster. We will try and get him up to speed as he hasn't been playing much."

Di Paola added: "From the guys that were missing on Saturday, no-one is fit again from that group. I know they are hurting from Saturday and I do feel for them, we didn't even have a fit striker in that squad."
Kick-off at Culver Road is 7.45pm.
