Default Grey stuff on turf

Having laid all the cut price turf, there are some small areas where the
grass was covered by a grey something or other.
Given the general colour, presumably a fungus?
The small patches are now looking sorry for themselves, possibly dying.

Should I leave them to see if they perk up, or cut them out now and replace
them with bits from the two spare(ish) rolls not yet laid?

Cheers

The latter. If you wait to be sure, and they do die, by that time the turf
you're going to use may also be past it.
