Watkins has blooded several youngsters over the course of the last few games and says more are keen on joining the club in time for next season, adding to what is already stiff competition for places.

An upbeat Watkins said: "There's this buzz about the place. Players are coming over every week. I think that's nice that young players are coming. I wanted to get young players at the club and we are working hard to achieve that."

The pick of the bunch has been 16-year-old right back Matt Cornelius while Billy Trivett and Sam Fenton, also 16, both made their full debuts in the defeat at Newhaven last Saturday.

Chris Makin (hernia) and Darrel Shaw (knee ligaments) are the only absentees for the visit from Storrington on Saturday April 5.
