Sittingbourne joint-boss Matt Wyatt is confident he can fill the void left by departing strikers Joe Taylor and Ryan Golding.

Twenty-seven goal Taylor looks set to complete a move to Conference South Farnborough in the coming days. Golding is also expected to be playing elsewhere next season.

Wyatt said: "Myself and Nick (Davis, joint-manager) have been planning for two or three months not to have Joe and Ryan.

"Joe has been superb for us but the lad is young and ambitious and wants to try and prove himself at Conference/Ryman League level. We understand that and there are no ill feelings.

"Ryan wants to try his luck at a higher level and is in talks with a Ryman League Premier Division club. I would say there is a 95% chance he won’t be with us.

"Myself and Nick have been prepared and we are hoping that with a couple of signings we have made and what we already have, that the goals can come from there.

"It is going to be hard to replace 27 goals but there is no reason why we can’t.

"People might step up more now than they did before and where we might be losing out in one aspect, we may be gaining in another."
