Tonbridge Angels' move out of the National League South relegation zone came at a price.

They beat Chippenham 3-2 last Saturday through goals from Jason Williams, D'Sean Theobalds and Joe Turner and sit 19th in the table.

But Williams (hamstring), Alex Bentley (calf) and Jack Parter (ankle) all went off injured inside 35 minutes.

The trio will be monitored before the trip to Braintree this weekend while Harry Donovan serves a one-match ban following his red card.

Manager Steve McKimm said: "As well as the three coming off, we've got a couple carrying niggles and Harry Donovan is suspended, so we're down to the bare bones at the moment.

"It was a great win and one we needed to build on our good performance at Maidstone and keep that momentum going.

"If we'd been able to keep the starting XI out on the park it might have been easier than it was but to be pegged back twice and still win the game showed great character.

"The boys have shown that all season but we've not had the rub of the green at times."

Angels, who are a point clear of the bottom two, are wary of Braintree.

The Essex club were the form team in the division when Tonbridge pulled off a 5-1 win at Longmead in October.

And they go into the Angels clash on the back of another beating after suffering a shock 6-0 defeat at Dulwich Hamlet.

McKimm said: "Every club gets results like that. We beat them 5-1 before and they'll be wanting revenge, I would imagine, so we have to be careful of that.

"If we can get a result there after a draw at Maidstone and beating Chippenham, it won't be a bad 10 days for us."

Tonbridge's Kent Senior Cup tie against Folkestone on Tuesday night was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
