Maidstone United manager Jay Saunders says FA Cup exit could force him to trim squad by sending more players out on loan
00:00, 13 November 2015
Maidstone will consider sending players out on loan now they are out of the FA Cup.
Stones were able to name a seven-man bench in the cup but they’re back to five substitutes in National League South.
Good players risk not even making the squad and boss Jay Saunders may act.
Frannie Collin and Mitchell Pinnock have recently returned from loan spells, Alex Flisher is ready to start matches again and Alex Brown could be back from injury at Dartford on Saturday.
Saunders said: “We need to have a look at it. We’ve got a very big squad and that’s OK all the time you’re in the cup and can name seven subs.
“But we’re back to five now and could end up with four players in the stand on Saturday, which isn’t ideal.
“We are going to have to trim it sooner or later but that might also be to bring different people in.”
Crowd segregation will be in place for Maidstone's next home game, against Wealdstone, on Tuesday night (7.45pm).
