Manager Jamie Godbold will be looking for a swift response from his players after Tuesday's poor showing as they tackle Cray Wanderers at The Wardale Williams Stadium and try to retain their unbeaten league tag.

Cray having clawed their way out of relegation last season, have started this season brightly and have six points from their three games so far and sit in seventh place in the Ryman North table.

Godbold will be able to recall striker Luke Callander as well as Jordan Blackwell, Ollie Berquez and Robbie Martin to his squad and has no injury worries after a good training session on Thursday evening.

One player who will not be involved is eighteen year-old Kyran Clements who is due to start an eighty-four day loan withThurlow Nunn Premier League side Felixstowe and Walton United.

AFC Director of Football Danny Laws and Manager Godbold both agreed that the young central defender would benefit greatly from have much more game time at a higher level that in the club's reserve side.

When AFC Captain Sam Clarke takes to the field in the Cray game he will climb to sixth in the all time club appearance list, his 290 games overtaking Lee Owen's 289.

The clubhouse will be open early and on the big screens will be the BT Sports Barclays Premier League game between Manchester United and Newcastle United that kicks off at 12.45pm.

The game is being sponsored by JMP Asbestos Removal and Waste Collection Services.
