Forward Brendon Cass, right, could be partnered by Simon Austin at Worthing on Saturday.

Neil Cugley wants his Ryman League Division 1 South promotion chasers to be more clinical in front of goal.

The Folkestone Invicta boss, preparing for Saturday’s trip to in-form leaders Worthing, said: "I’d like us to be more entertaining and exciting in the final third. It would be nice if we got more goals from midfield and the strikers and it’s strange for a team near the top our leading scorer has only got eight.

"We were not good enough to cause Leatherhead too many problems in the 0-0 draw last week but I can’t be too critical of the players after what they have done this season."

Worthing’s 2-0 win at Walton Casuals on Monday night extended their winning run to seven matches, transforming the Sussex club’s season in the space of a month.

The teams drew 0-0 at Buzzlines Stadium in November and Cugley said: "It was an exciting goalless draw. They came and played 4-2-4 against our 4-4-2, and both defences and goalkeepers did well. They were in the chasing pack at one stage but are playing really well, and a good side Not long ago they were one of the pack, now they are leaders."

Invicta dropped to third after wins for rivals Godalming (at Chatham) and Croydon Athletic (at Dulwich) on Tuesday night.

Midfielder Lee Spiller has left the club after experiencing knee problems, Jimmy Jackson has been struggling with a knee injury but Simon Austin is available after serving a three-match ban.

Cugley was planning to play Austin alongside Brendon Cass in a new strike partnership at Homelands last night. New-boy Cass has scored twice in three games since arriving from Chatham.
