Jamie Hayter will be out for 2-3 weeks after he tweaked knee ligaments during the FA Cup First Round match against Forest Green Rovers.

Speaking on BBCi, Sean O'Driscoll is quoted as saying that: "James has tweaked his ligaments, so he'll be out for two or three weeks".

Of the game, Sean spoke more generally say that: "The pitch wasn't the best - it was difficult to control the ball. On another day, we could have scored a few, but the FA Cup's not like that. But credit to Forest Green as they've had a bad time in the league - they've battled away and deserve their replay." But credit to Forest Green as they've had a bad time in the league - they've battled away and deserve their replay."

For Forest Green, their manager, Alan Lewer, was naturally delighted with the draw and the resulting replay at Dean Court: "That's four games unbeaten - we came back strongly and could have gone on to win it. We went 4-5-1 as we thought we could keep ourselves in the game and have a go at them late on, which we did".
