ACCRINGTON
STANLEY
Accrington will be without Robbie Williams and Andy Gouck
for the trip to Hereford. Williams is sus-pended, while
Gouck is still out through illness. Mike Procter is
unlike-ly to start, and Steve Hollis, who was suspended
last weekend, now has an ankle knock and is a slight
doubt.

ALDERSHOT
Aldershot will be missing suspended pair Aaron McLean and
Adam Miller for the trip to Exeter. Goalkeeper Nikki Bull
(hamstring) should be fit enough for a place on the
bench. Manager Terry Brown sees Exeter as his side's
closest rivals for a play-off place, and said: "It
really is a game we mustn't lose."

BARNET
Boss Martin Allen will once again be without Mark Rooney
for Barnet's trip to Gravesend. Rooney continues to
strug-gle with an ankle problem but should return to
training next week. Allen will also rest three players
who have played despite carrying injuries for the last
two games.

BURTON ALBION
Former Chesterfield full-back Jon Howard was forced off
at half-time with a knock as Burton ended a run of four
successive defeats with a 2-1 victory over Telford on
Tuesday, but it is not thought to be serious. Veteran
defender Steve Chettle could get a start against
Northwich.

CHESTER CITY
Leaders Chester have no fresh injury worries to contend
with ahead of their game against Morecambe. On-loan
goalkeeper Iain Turner will continue to deputise for
Wayne Brown. Manager Mark Wright, whose side have won
five games in a row, sees the title contest as a
three-horse race between City, Shrewsbury and Hereford.

DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE
Dagenham will be without sus-pended trio Danny Shipp,
Ashley Vickers and Danny Hill for the trip to
Farnborough. Defender Lee Goodwin played 90 minutes for
the reserves in midweek and should replace Vickers in the
starting XI. Lenny Piper is unlikely to feature as he
looks set to join Fisher Athletic.

EXETER
Striker Steve Flack (ankle) is Exeter's only injury
concern ahead of their home game against promotion rivals
Aldershot. Les Afful is expected to take his place, while
there may also be a recall on the wing for James
Coppinger. Utility player Barry McConnell could come back
into the squad after two reserve-team run-outs.

FARNBOROUGH
Billy Beall could return to Farnborough's squad to face
Dagenham as his ankle injury has improved. Manager Vic
Searle will be without Sasha Opinel, though, as he serves
the sec-ond game of a two-match suspension. Searle said:
"We've played well over the last few games and we'll
be looking to continue that against Dagenham."

FOREST GREEN
Forest Green boss Tim Harris is "very hopeful"
that on-loan Sekani Simpson will be fit to face
Shrewsbury. The Bristol City defender missed Rovers'
midweek win against Halifax with a hamstring strain.
Kevin Langan (fractured cheekbone) is the only definite
absentee.

GRAVESEND & NORTHFLEET
Gravesend boss Andy Ford should be able to welcome Andy
Drury back into his squad to face Barnet. Drury has
recovered from a chest ligament injury, but new signing
Tony Battersby has a persistent groin niggle and may not
be risked. Battersby sustained the injury in Northfleet's
6-0 victory over Morecambe and faces a late check.

HALIFAX TOWN
Halifax are expected to be without Kevin Sandwith for the
trip to Telford as he looks set to secure a move to
Third Division Lincoln. Town, who have lost their last
five games, will also be missing Andy Farrell and
Christian Lee
both of whom will not be fit until next week at the
earliest.

HEREFORD UNITED
Danny Williams and Simon Travis could return to
Hereford's squad for the clash with Accrington. The pair
have been struggling with ankle problems. Dean Craven is
out after suffering a badly-bruised foot, and he will be
joined on the sidelines by on-loan defender Tamika
Mkandawire the West Brom man serves a one-match
suspension.

LEIGH RMI
Relegation-threatened Leigh welcome back Steve Redmond
and Carl Rezai from suspension for the crunch clash
against Scarborough. Defender Wayne Maden is also in the
squad after missing the defeat at Shrewsbury with a
throat infection. The only absentee is long-term injury
victim Gary Kelly (broken finger), but the goalkeeper
should be back in a fortnight.

MARGATE
Danny Murphy returns to Margate's squad for the trip to
Woking after suspension. However, Sam Sodje is still
missing as he serves the second of a three-game ban. Jay
Saunders is unavailable as he continues to struggle with
a foot problem, while midfielder John Keister has been
struck down with flu but should recover.

MORECAMBE
Morecambe are sweating on the fitness of goal-keeper
Craig Mawson and Michael Stringfellow for the trip to
lead-ers Chester. Both players missed last week's win
against Scarborough, with Mawson struggling to overcome a
shin problem and Stringfellow battling against a foot
injury. Stuart Drummond has a slight hamstring strain but
should play.

NORTHWICH VICTORIA
Kieran Charnock is Northwich manager Shaun Teale's only
absentee for the trip to Burton as he remains side-lined
with medial ligament damage. Phil Brazier and Paul
McGuire are back from hamstring and knee problems for the
Vics, who have taken just two points from their last 14
games.

SCARBOROUGH
Manager Russell Slade could hand debuts to new signings
Tony Hackworth and Kiki Bertrand in Scarborough's
"vital" clash at home to Leigh. Clint Marcelle
(thigh) is definitely out, while skipper Jimmy Kelly,
Steve Baker (both hamstring), Mark Quayle (ankle) and
Glen Downey (foot) are doubtful.

SHREWSBURY
Shrewsbury welcome Luke Rodgers back from suspension for
the trip to Forest Green and the striker is expected to
slot straight back into the starting line-up. Sam Aiston
begins a two-game suspension but would not have featured
anyway as he damaged knee ligaments against Leigh.

STEVENAGE BOROUGH
Stevenage will be without Lionel Perez for the home clash
with Tamworth after the goalkeeper broke his leg in
Tuesday's goalless draw with Barnet. He is likely to miss
the remainder of the season. Mark Smith (ankle) came
through a reserve-team game unscathed in midweek and is
likely to feature in the squad.

TAMWORTH
Tamworth boss Darron Gee has no new injury wor-ries to
contend for the trip to Stevenage. Defender Adie Smith is
still struggling with an ankle injury but should be back
in contention in the next 10 days. Lee Colkin made his
Lambs debut against Dagenham in midweek and should
continue in defence.

TELFORD
Midfielder Richard Lavery is rated doubtful for Telford's
clash with Halifax. Lavery has missed training since
suffering a knock to his knee in Tuesday's defeat against
Burton. Neil Howarth's twisted ankle means he misses out,
but he could be back in contention next week.

WOKING
Raphael Nade will miss Woking's clash with Margate with a
broken jaw. He will undergo an operation on Monday. Amos
Foyewa will be suspended for the game, but Neil Sharp has
returned from an ankle injury and should feature. Scott
Canham came through his comeback game against Stevenage
unscathed and will also play.
