No Cobbs for Welling's 'big game'

Maidenhead v Welling

On-loan midfielder Sonny Cobbs is Welling's only notable absentee for the crunch trip to Maidenhead in Blue Square South on Saturday.

Cobbs serves a one-match suspension for his red card against Bognor earlier this month but his Brighton colleague, Sam Gargan, is available to play.

Wings boss Andy Ford has extended Cobbs and Gargan's loan spells from Brighton until the end of the campaign.

He said: “We are relying on Sam to do a difficult job up front by himself but he works ever so hard for the team.

“Sonny has been my man of the match for the past few weeks now. I think he is getting better with every game, he has more confidence now but his effort and energy is first class.

“They’ve both got plenty of potential. It’s good for them to come here and play at this level rather than their reserves and I’m sure they’ve learnt a lot in the last couple of months.”

Welling travel to Maidenhead knowing victory will move them five points clear of their opponents.

Ford admitted: “It’s a big game for us, the momentum is with us and we really need to keep going.

“No one will get carried away with me and Phil around though, we won’t allow that.”
