Faversham Town boss Sammy Moore considers adding to his attacking options again after injuries to top scorer Stefan Payne and Jefferson Aibangbee in 3-1 win over Lydd Town

Manager Sammy Moore may look to strengthen Faversham’s attacking options even further.

The Lilywhites were dealt injury blows to top scorer Stefan Payne and frontman Jefferson Aibangbee as they won Tuesday’s home Challenge Cup match against Lydd 3-1.

While Town are not exactly short on forward options, Warren Mfula will be the only out-and-out striker in their squad if Payne is sidelined for an extended period.

Moore, whose side thrashed Stansfeld 8-0 in the Southern Counties East Premier Division last weekend, said: “We haven’t got a massive squad.

“We might need to have a look at that. But the substitutes who have come on have done fantastically well over the last two games.

“If we’re going to do anything this year, we’re going to need a squad and that strength-in-depth.”

Payne came off in the first half, immediately after midfielder Sam Hasler scored the first of his two goals against Lydd. Substitute Billy Bennett rounded off the victory.

On 32-year-old hitman Payne, Moore revealed: “We think he has done his hip flexor but we’re not too sure.

“We need to have a look at that over the next couple of days.

“It might give a chance for Warren to have a run in the team. He’s disappointed when he doesn’t start but I thought he deserved a goal on Tuesday.

“Their keeper made a couple of good saves - and at the minute, it just won’t go in.

“But you’ve just got to keep working hard and getting in those positions and it’ll soon turn.”

Payne had bagged yet another brace against Stansfeld, defender Matt Newman was at the double, too. Their other goals came from right-back Josh Vincent, Hasler, captain Connor Essam and Aibangbee.

Those wins have coincided with Moore moving his side away from a formation which included a three-man
