Di Paola praised them both for their contributions. He said: “Liam wants to play regularly and he’s been good, so that gives someone else the opportunity to take his place in the team.
“Matt did really well for us. He has been on the bench but hasn’t done anything wrong.”
Goalkeeper Daly is expected to be out of action for at least another two months with a dislocated knee, with Josh Pelling expected to remain on loan from Dorking Wanderers as cover.

Hide AdTwo of Horsham’s long-term injury victims are no closer to recovery than before Christmas.
In fact neither experienced midfielder Keehan nor defender Breach are expected to take part again this season.
Keehan is waiting for a scan on his knee while Breach has left the club.
Di Paola said: “We are not expecting either of them to play again this season - Joe is still injured while Chris has different injuries and has pretty much retired. He is no longer at the club.”
