Goalkeeper Tom Hadler hopes it’s his turn for a run after regaining his place in the Maidstone team. Hadler sat out the first nine games of the National League season, with Yusuf Mersin getting the nod.

But the former Gillingham man was back in the side last weekend as Maidstone pushed leaders Chesterfield all the way before losing 2-1 in added time.

The Stones visit Boreham Wood on Saturday, a game that will be shown live on BT Sport (5.20pm). Hadler is taking nothing for granted but is the man in possession.

He said: “I’d like to think I’ll stay in the team. Yus has had a run so hopefully I’ll now get a run. “I look forward to being out there but we’ll have to see. “It’ll be a first live telly game for me, so it will be fun if it is me. “We played well there in the FA Trophy last season. “We were well in the game, we created chances and were unlucky to lose on penalties. “We shouldn’t be frightened of Boreham Wood or anyone else. “We’re a good team, as we’ve shown, it’s just a case of getting that consistency back and that compactness in our game.” Hadler kept 13 clean sheets as Maidstone won the National South title last season.
