Di Paola said: “We’d rather play. We’ve got a decent-sized squad so you want games on.
“All the boys are champing at the bit at the moment to play games so you want to play games and have games on.
“For a few boys it might them a bit of a chance to rest up a bit but most players want to play football.

“Going into the Christmas period we’ve got Littlehampton (in the Senior Cup), Margate, Folkestone, East Thurrock, Worthing, Lewes (all in the league), so there’s another busy period coming up.
“We’ve got to make sure we’re ticking over and we don’t go flat during this little break.”
