GARRY Hill believes Weymouth won't suffer a FA Cup hangover when they return to Conference South action tomorrow.

Victory at high-flying Hayes (3pm) could send the Terras third in the table, with three games in hand on leaders St Albans City.

After pushing Nottingham Forest all the way in last Monday's televised first round replay, boss Hill insists no ill-effects of that huge effort will be on show at Church Road.

He said: "My players gave everything they had against Forest but unfortunately it just wasn't to be.

"But that replay is all history now and we've got to get on with what we always said was our number one priority - gaining promotion from Conference South.

"The players have all been extremely positive since Monday night and are now refreshed and ready to kick on in the league.

"We're in a nice position at the moment and we need to build on our fifth place between now and Christmas.

"We have games in hand on the teams above so the incentive is there to keep getting good results and I'm certain we'll be on top form tomorrow.

"We have a lot of big games in the next few weeks and it is important that we keep grinding out those results.

"I'm confident the players can get the job done because the team-spirit at the club at the moment is immense.

"Over the last few months we've become an extremely close-knit unit and credit to the players for making that happen.

"That's why although I'm always looking to strengthen, any player I bring in has to be absolutely right for this football club both on and off the pitch. Any new player cannot

disrupt our team spirit because it would disrupt everything we've worked so hard to achieve."

Striker Kirk Jackson is included in Hill's squad travelling to Middlesex after shrugging off a head injury suffered against Forest.

Fellow frontman Craig O'Connor is also available after being cup-tied in the replay.

The only injury surrounds striker Daniel Webb (knee) who joins winger Adam Wilde (ankle) on the Terras treatment table.

"Adam's month loan at Eastleigh doesn't officially expire until next week," said Hill, "but he has been back with us to receive treatment on his injury."
