Whitstable boss Justin Luchford claims Town have such a strong squad that he has "absolutely no idea" how to select his best team.

The Oystermen have added several new faces to the squad in recent weeks, with the latest arrivals being Jake Hessenthaler and Josh Hare, who arrived on work experience terms from Gillingham last week.

The pair joined their new team-mates at a lengthy training session on Saturday afternoon following the postponement of the home game against Godalming in Ryman League Division 1 South.

Luchford (pictured) said: "The game being off probably worked a treat for us. We had a really good session for two-and-a-half hours. We had 23 players there and fit and it was good fun – a good chance for the players to bond. It was thoroughly enjoyable.

"We’ve done a lot of chopping and changing since I’ve been here, but it’s good to have everyone coming back to fitness."

On Saturday, weather permitting, Town will visit Corinthian-Casuals, who are winless in 16 league games.

Luchford said: "We’ll go there in good spirits. Everything is very positive around the club at the moment. The only problem is that I have got absolutely no idea what to do about the team, it is difficult.

"Luckily I think a couple might need some minutes, so they might go and play for the reserves."
