Welling boss Jamie Day has revealed that leading scorer Andy Pugh is expected to return from injury this weekend.

Pugh missed last Saturday's Blue Square Bet South draw at Bromley with a groin problem.

But Day expects his 10-goal striker to be fit when the two teams meet again at Hayes Lane on Saturday in the FA Cup second qualifying round.

"Andy was probably 85 per cent on Saturday but I decided not to risk him," said Day.

"I could have played him or had him on the bench, but hopefully he will be ready for the weekend now."

Day also defended the lack of substitutions against Bromley as the Wings failed to hold on to their lead and conceded a late equaliser five minutes from time following a foul by Loick Pires.

"When we went ahead I didn't think we needed to change things," he added. "The lads had a week's rest and I'm not even sure it was a foul anyway.

"There was no need to change it, a substitute could have come on and given a foul away.

"We didn't deal with the free-kick and that ended up costing us the goal."

Despite failing to hold on, Day still believes it was a point gained and that increased expectation levels are putting undue pressure on his players.

"I'm a bit disappointed with the reaction of other people," he said. "At the start of the season I wasn't saying we were going to win the league, of course we want to do that, but our aim was to get in and around the play-off places again.

"People expected us to go there and win easily but we lost there last year and you have to respect teams.

"We were comfortable at the back and, on reflection, a draw at Bromley is not bad. They played Woking last Tuesday and it was 2-2 after 80 minutes until the keeper threw two goals in so they are a good side."

Day is also hoping to complete a loan move for Charlton midfielder Ben Davison, who ironically has been on loan at Bromley previously, before this Saturday's FA Cup tie at Hayes Lane.
