Romford manager Paul Martin was dealt double blow today when Nathan Cooper joined AFC Hornchurch and Jamie Dicks took the short journey to Aveley.
Whilst Martin wished both players good luck, and thanked them for their services to the club, there was no disguising his disappointment at losing two influential players, especially at the end of last season, and the beginning of this season.

Martin will shuffle the pack tomorrow but was quick to point out that there is depth in this squad, and whilst Cooper and Dicks leaving will be a blow it will be an opportunity for other players to step up to the plate.
