Folkestone Invicta boss
Neil Cugley has defended young striker Johan Ter Horst after his
mistake which led to Maidstone’s first goal in a 2-2 draw between
the sides at the Gallagher Stadium on Tuesday
night.
Ter Horst lost the ball on
the halfway line in the build-up to Ade Olorunda putting the Stones
2-1 ahead.
Cugley said: "The boy was a
bit down in the dressing room after the game, but I told him
he is playing Saturday, don’t worry about it.
"It is all about him learning
for next year and he will come back stronger, I am sure. In an
ideal world, you would try and rest somebody like him, who is only
17, for a couple of games.
"We’ll keep playing him,
because that is the way he will learn. He is a good player and if
he gets a chance, he’ll put it in."
Striker Richard Atkins is
unavailable for the home game against Ramsgate on Saturday while
defender Phil Stevenson completes a three-match ban. Invicta travel
to Leatherhead next Wednesday.
Cugley said: "Being without
Richard means I will to have to work out what sort of formation we
play. We went with 4-3-3 on Tuesday but it’s something I will have
to think on.
"We are looking to go out and enjoy every game we play and
if we do get to the play-offs it will be a bonus, considering what
we have been through this
season.
