BARNET
Barnet go into the home game with Hereford without
midfielder John Doolan, who has signed for Doncaster. The
Bees are sweating on the fitness of Junior Agogo, Ishmail
Yakabu and Greg Heald, all of whom face late fitness
tests, and will be without long-term casualties Danny
Brown and Ben Strevens.

New signing John Doolan could go straight into Dave
Penney's starting line-up for the trip to Woking. The

Kettering boss Carl Shutt is still without suspended duo
Michael McKenzie and Mark Haran for the trip to Nuneaton

Leigh RMI manager Mark Patterson has close to a
full-strength squad for the trip to Telford. The

from a stomach bug and is available as Patterson's men
aim to move out of the bottom three.

NORTHWICH
Northwich player-manager Jimmy Quinn is likely to make
changes for the trip to Forest Green. The Vics boss was
bitterly disappointed with the 2-1 defeat at home to
Kettering. Quinn said: "Both goals were from
set-pieces. Kettering never had a shot at goal, yet they
beat us. Our defence was unacceptable."

creative midfielder for the visit of Kettering, though he
was remaining tight-lipped, having missed out on
Coventry's Robert Betts. Goalkeeper Chris MacKenzie has

Steve Brodie are doubtful.

against Stevenage and is unlikely to play for the club

Telford are raring to go following a two-week lay-off and
manager Jake King has no injury worries ahead of the
visit of Leigh RMI. The only change forced on him is up

impress.

Woking have been given a double boost ahead of the visit
