Scott Rogers says Willand Rovers' chances of doing well in both league and cup could be hindered by an end of season fixture pile-up, having seen another match postponed at the weekend.
Saturday's match at home against Slimbridge was called-off because of a waterlogged pitch, with the Mid Devon side having played fewer games than everyone else in the Western League Premier Division.
The Silver Street outfit are ninth in the table, but have up to eight games in hand on the sides above them.
As they are also in the quarter-finals of the Les Phillips Cup and semi-finals of the Devon St Luke's Bowl, Rogers is worried the number of matches they have to fit in now will cause them problems.
Rogers said: "There were puddles on the pitch on Friday so we knew we were going to be struggling but we were desperate to get it (Saturday's game) on because we've got so many games to play.
"It could end up costing us because we're going to have to play an awful lot of games in the last few months of the season. We would have liked to have played a few more midweek games in the last couple of months but we've had hardly any.
"We're going to need all the squad now going into the end of the season, everyone's going to play a big part."
Willand showed what they can do when conditions allow as they beat Brislington 4-1 last Wednesday.
James Blake scored after just 20 seconds to give the hosts the lead.
Luke Alden and Craig Veal also scored before half-time, with Blake adding his second, as they turned around 4-0 up. The Brislington keeper made four excellent saves to keep out Blake, Alden and Veal in the second half.
