STEVE Duncan and Neil O'Sullivan will be available after suspension for Saturday's FA Trophy first qualifying tie at home to Solihull Borough but both may have to settle for a place on the bench.

While Evesham manager Dave Busst welcomes back two players, he will be without two more with Grant Pinkney starting a three-match ban and Stuart Hamilton sidelines by a thigh strain that is expected to keep him out until the end of the month.

The Robins have now gone six games without a win and Busst will be keen to end that record against his former club.

"If we show the same kind of attitude that we showed against Gloucester then we should be alright," he admitted.

"The clean sheet was welcome and I felt that we just about deserved to take the points."

However, Tuesday' results elsewhere, on a night when each of the bottom six clubs all picked up points, leave the Robins just one spot off the bottom of the table and left Busst with plenty to ponder.

Not least was the poor quality of set-pieces, while he also has to decide whether to start the game with Jermaine Clarke who was relegated to the bench in midweek.

"The way he played when he came on just typified Jermaine," Busst declared. "He's a different player when he comes off the bench."

The manager also explained the routine at set-pieces that have become a dismal feature at recent matches.

"Of course we practice them in training," he admitted. "They were very poor again on Tuesday but we have four or five people who are allocated that job and it's whoever feels confident at the time that takes the kicks.

"It was virtually impossible to get the ball up and over the wall on Tuesday but we have got to ensure in future that we make the most of those situations."

Saturday's match is being sponsored by WF (Evesham) Ltd, Boat Lane and the ball by Simcron of West Bromwich.

Any replay will take place at Damson Park next Wednesday night, ko 7.45pm.

The first qualifying round winners will pocket £1,300 and earn a home clash with either Tiverton Town or Mangotsfield United.
