Tonbridge Angels manager Tommy Warrilow awaits impact of flu bug on his squad
By Andrew

Tommy Warrilow was due to hold a sick
parade at training on Thursday night after a flu bug hit Tonbridge
players and staff this week.
Warrilow (pictured) who has also been
under the weather himself, cancelled Tuesday’s session, and was
expecting at least a couple to fail to report, ahead of the Blue
Square Bet South trip to second-bottom Basingstoke on Saturday.
He said: "Several of the lads
including me haven’t been feeling great, and a couple texted me to
say they wouldn’t be there, I will just have to see who make
it."
Defender Danny Walder looks set to be
ruled out for nearly a month with damaged ankle ligaments sustained
in the 2-0 defeat at Truro on Saturday.
Warrilow heads for Hampshire admitting
he is suprised to see Basingstoke, who reached the play-offs last
season, so low in the table.
He said: "How they are down there with
what they have got, I don’t know."
Tonbridge conceded early and late to
lose at Truro, and Warrilow admitted he felt it was an opportunity
missed.
He added: "I didn’t tear into the boys
afterwards because they had been superb at Merthyr and a few were
affected by the bug. We didn’t do ourselves any favours though, and
I was annoyed because I thought we could have been out of sight in
the game after 15 minutes."
