11 September 2003

ACCRINGTON STANLEY

Manager John Coleman will be without influential duo Dean Calcutt and Paul Cook for the visit of Margate. Winger Calcutt and midfielder Cook picked up one and three-match suspensions respectively following recent dismissals, and their absence will be felt in midfield. Coleman said: "It's not ideal, but we've got a big squad and no injury problems to worry about."

BARNET

Bees boss Martin Allen has reported a clean bill of health ahead of his side's tough trip to Stevenage Borough.

BURTON ALBION

Barry Williams is out of Burton's trip to Telford with a groin injury, but Darren Wassall returns. Williams lasted the whole of Albion's win against Woking but is now struggling to shake off the problem, while Wassall missed the game with a tight ham-string but should be fit. Christian Moore begins a three-game ban, and Andy Ducros remains on the sidelines with a calf injury.

CHESTER CITY

Chester manager Mark Wright will again be without long-term injury victims Scott Guyett and Daryl Clare for the visit of Halifax. Guyett (groin) and Clare (knee) are coming along nicely on the road to recovery, but Wright still believes it will be "two, two and a half weeks before we see them again".

DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE

Garry Hill is facing up to the prospect of being without six key players for the trip to Northwich Victoria. Lee Goodwin (ankle), Jimmy Jackson (foot), Danny Shipp (calf), Mark Smith (ankle) and Mark Stein (hamstring) are all high-ly unlikely to feature, while Ashley Vickers is suspended. Hill said: "It's tough but we'll have a roll call later and see what's what."

EXETER

In-form Exeter will wait on a late fitness check on Brazilian centre-back Santos Gaia ahead of their trip to Forest Green Rovers. City boss Eamonn Dolan reports that Gaia has an ankle injury but is hoping the skilful defender will recover in time. Grecians ace James Coppinger (knee) will also have a late fitness test, but defender Alex Jeannin is ruled out through suspension.

FARNBOROUGH

Rock-bottom Farnborough could welcome back experienced striker Ken Charlery for the trip to Woking. Charlery has been on the sidelines after sustaining a thigh injury in the 1-1 draw against Barnet in August. However, the former Boston and Dagenham marksman is back in full training and will be given until the very last minute to prove his fitness.

FOREST GREEN

Colin Addison is again battling to have new sign-ings Jamie Moralee and Richard Kennedy available for the clash with Exeter. Moralee and Kennedy, who have both been playing for Welsh side Barry Town, agreed terms with Rovers last week and have been training with the squad this week - but are still awaiting international clearance. Gareth Stoker remains on the sidelines with a dislocated shoulder.

GRAVESEND & NORTHFLEET

Manager Andy Ford is facing the possibility of being without four key players for the visit of Leigh RMI to Stonebridge Road. Andy Drury (ankle), Paul Wilkerson (ankle) and Robin Trott (foot) are all missing with long-term injuries. Francis Duku aggravated his thigh injury on his first-team return at Scarborough last week and is struggling to be fit in time.

Halifax Town manager Chris Wilder will have a full-strength squad to select from for the tough trip to Chester. Darren Hockenhull (medial ligament injury) and Jon Cullen (groin and rib problems) have been passed fit after struggling in the early part of the week, while the rest of the squad is also in good shape.

HEREFORD UNITED

Bulls manager Graham Turner is likely to keep faith with the same 16 who were on duty for the 5-0 win at Farnborough last weekend for the visit of Scarborough. Turner was hoping striker Danny Carey-Bertram would have been fit enough to return to the squad after he missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, but he has not recovered in time.

Boss Mark Patterson has two new signings at his dis-posal ahead of the trip to Gravesend & Northfleet. Patterson has brought in Andy Roscoe on a two-year contract, while Martyn Forrest has arrived from Third Division Bury on a three-month loan. Patterson said: "They will give us a bit more balance and experi-ence - particularly down the left-hand side."

Chris Kinnear is again without Jean-Michel Sigere and Bill Edwards ahead of the trip to Accrington Stanley, but hopes to field an otherwise full-strength side. Sigere and Edwards have long-standing knee injuries, although they are both nearing full fit-ness again and could be back in a fortnight, while Jake Leberl is also struggling with a back injury.

MORECAMBE

Forward Adriano Rigoglioso is ruled out of Morecambe's trip to Tamworth through suspension. Rigoglioso was sent off in the Shrimps' 2-1 defeat at Telford and now begins a three-game ban. Recent signing Ryan Sugden could take his place in attack. Midfielder Gary Thompson, who missed last week's victory against Aldershot with a bruised foot, has resumed training and should be fit to

Manager Steve Davis has reported a full-strength Northwich Victoria squad ahead of the clash with Dagenham & Redbridge.

SCARBOROUGH

Boss Russell Slade is again without first-choice keeper Adam Sollitt for the trip to Hereford. Sollitt missed the Gravesend clash with a cracked bone, so Leigh Walker will contin-ue in goal with third-choice netminder Gareth Downey out with mumps. Clayton Donaldson may return from injury, but David Pounder (knee) and Jacques Williams (broken rib) are out.

SHREWSBURY

Manager Jimmy Quinn is sweating on the fit-ness of Jamie Tolley ahead of the trip to Aldershot and will give him until the last possible moment to prove his fitness. Tolley turned his ankle in the win over Tamworth last weekend, and has an outside chance of playing. Dave Edwards has been ruled out, although his toe is not broken. Scott Howie retains his spot in goal.

STEVENAGE BOROUGH

Stevenage boss Graham Westley has an injury crisis ahead of the visit of Barnet, with almost three quar-ters of his first-team squad either doubtful or definitely out. Westley said: "On Tuesday I had seven players out of a squad of 24 turn up to training. It would be quicker to go through those that are fit to play." Dino Maamria is struggling with a hamstring strain.

Boss Darron Gee hopes to be able to field three new signings for Tamworth's clash with Morecambe. Gee has snapped up youngsters Lewis Hunt from Derby and Kelvin Langmead from Preston on loan deals. The Tamworth boss is also hoping to tie up a third, as yet unnamed, signing. Mark Turner (heel) and Tom Jordan (ankle) are definitely out.

TELFORD

Telford manager Mick Jones has doubts over strikers Neil Howarth and Lee Mills ahead of the visit of Burton. Howarth, sent off during the 1-1 draw at Dagenham last week, has a groin strain while Mills has a knee injury. Scott Eustace, whom Jones describes as "champing at the bit", and Michael Blackwood are standing by to deputise.

WOKING

Glenn Cockerill has only Neil Sharp ruled out for Woking's derby against rock-bottom Farnborough. The defender has been out for the last three weeks with an ankle injury, which flared up in training at the beginning of the week. Cockerill said: "It's a derby and the form book goes out of the window, but we'll approach it like any other game."
