CHESTER

DAG & RED

Dagenham will again be without injured defenders Mark Smith and Tim Cole against Chester, and a question mark hangs over midfielder Mark Janney, who missed last weekend's game with an ankle injury.

DONCASTER

MORECAMBE

Morecambe manager Jim Harvey has reported a clean bill of health ahead of the trip to Woking, with only the suspended Jim Bentley unavailable for selection. The loss of the centre- half will be a big blow for Harvey, but he believes the side will go into the weekend action in good spirits.

NUNEATON

Nuneaton manager Steve Burr hopes to add "quality players" to his injury-hit squad as Boro attempt to haul themselves away from the Conference danger zone.

STEVENAGE

Jason Goodliffe is a doubt for Stevenage ahead of their trip to Hereford. The defender has not featured since the 2-1 defeat at Gravesend three weeks ago due to a thigh problem. Boss Graham Westley said: "It's a tough match. Not many teams go up there and go away with three points."

Woking will have midfielder Neil Smith available for the home game against play-off-chasing Morecambe after he was suspended for last week's defeat by Gravesend following a sending-off.
