DARTFORD entertain Deal in the FA Cup, first qualifying round, at Stonebridge Road with manager Gary Julians threatening to ring the changes.

Furious with the team's performance in going down 2-1 at home to Eastbourne Borough on Tuesday, Julians said: "If we play like that in the FA Cup against Deal we'll have no chance.

"They all want their back-sides kicking. There are no excuses, we just didn't perform.

"We were superb in winning at Grantham on Saturday and then we go and play like that against Eastbourne Borough. I'll be thinking long and hard before selecting Saturday's side."

Striker Roy Godden remains out of contention as he is serving the third of a three-match suspension.

With £7,500 at stake for the winners and with it the prospect of a further £7,500 for victory in the second qualifying round, the stakes are high for hard-up Darts.

Newcomers Gavin Rose from Gravesend and Scott Saunders from Fisher are ineligible as they were not signed in time.

Should a replay be necessary, it will be at Deal on Tuesday, September 18, kick off 7.45pm.
