Manager Steve Johnson said: 'The pitch was divoty and bumpy. There was nobody near Dan, he just went down.

'He's broken his leg at the top of the ankle and will be in plaster for eight to ten weeks, so he'll be out for a long time.

'I'm going with what I've got at the moment, but we need to improve. On paper we should get three points against bottom side Littlehampton on Saturday but they're due a win.

'The Broadbridge Heath match could have been 7-7 but I don't want that, but at least we're still in the cup. No date has so far been fixed for the replay.'
