The problems are piling up for Hastings ahead of tomorrow's premier division match with Tiverton.

Manager George Wakeling is without three players and the crisis is set to get worse.

United, without a victory in their last eight games, will be missing Adam Flanagan, who completes a three-match ban, and striker Landry Zahana-Oni on the third match of a four-game ban.

Midfielder Paul Ruddy is also unavailable after being sent off against Eastbourne Borough last month.

Stuart Myall (knee) and Duncan McArthur (hamstring) are both very doubtful.

New signing Dean Wordsworth is expected to make his home debut but he starts a three-match ban on Monday for a red card earlier this season for Windsor and Eton.

It gets worse because of McArthur's impending six-match ban for remarks made to the referee following his sending-off against Chelmsford City in September. He was also fined £100.

The FA hearing took into account his previous disciplinary record over the past five seasons and the 21-year-old's latest ban will take the number of matches he has missed this season to 15. McArthur's latest suspension takes effect from December 16 and will rule him out of the Christmas programme.
