WORTHING Football Club moved back into the Ryman League Division 1 South play-off places on Tuesday evening (February 21) after a 2-0 win over Chipstead.

The win extends Rebels’ unbeaten run to nine matches and delighted Worthing boss Chris White, who said: “It was a very good performance and I’m really pleased with it.

“They were the form side in the league but we were outstanding.”

Steve Davies pounced to give Worthing the lead on 19 minutes, with his second goal for the club, after Chipstead keeper Martin Grant had parried Ryan McBride’s cross-shot.

Rebels had several other chances throughout the match but their second goal came on 55 minutes when McBride set up Jamie Brotherton, who placed the ball into the bottom corner for his 14th goal of the season.

Premier League Wolverhampton Wanderers are eyeing up Brighton’s Gustavo Poyet as a potential replacement for recently sacked Mick McCarthy.

The Black Country outfit had interviewed Alan Curbishley, Neil Warnock and Steve Bruce but were left having to widen their search after all three turned their backs on the job.

Reading’s Brian McDermott is also believed to also be on the Molineux club’s shortlist and is considered a more likely option than Poyet because of his greater experience in the second flight.

Poyet has previously said he would remain loyal to the Albion unless faced with an offer he considered too good to turn down.

However, with a relative inexperience in management and a CV which currently boasts a single promotion from League One, the popular boss is unlikely to be in the running for more high profile vacancies in the near future.

Online bookies SkyBet currently have Poyet as joint second favourite at 5/2 with McDermott at 9/4.
