ACCRINGTON
STANLEY
Manager John Coleman has no real injury worries ahead of
the home clash with Shrewsbury Town. Coleman has slight

ALDERSHOT

time against a side that beat Exeter 2-0 in midweek. He
said: "They're a very good, very big, strong and
physical side. We'll have to battle for anything we get
there."

Dagenham & Redbridge manager Garry Hill has reported

and Ken Charlery as long as possible to prove their

FOREST GREEN
Manager Colin Addison is without midfielder Gareth Stoker
for the tough trip to Conference title favourites

HALIFAX TOWN
Manager Chris Wilder has added Christian Lee to his squad
for the clash with Gravesend & Northfleet. Danny
Hudson faces a couple of weeks on the sidelines with a
medial ligament injury, so Lee comes in to replace him.

Doncaster on loan, and he'll also be involved."

Zoricich will not have received international clearance
in time.

MORECAMBE
Manager Jim Harvey has no injury worries ahead of the
trip to Hereford United. The Shrimps boss will finalise
his side for the clash after the team's final training
session, but it is not expected to differ greatly from

SCARBOROUGH
Boss Russell Slade has numerous injury headaches to
address. Striker Karl Rose is out with the knee injury he
picked up against Northwich, so Chris Senior should
deputise. David Pounder remains on the sidelines with a
knee injury, while Jamie Dudgeon is still some way from
making his League debut. Glen and Gareth Downey are out
with ligament and shoulder injuries respectively.

SHREWSBURY
Shrewsbury Town manager Jimmy Quinn has reported a near
full-strength squad at his disposal for the clash at
Accrington Stanley. Mark Cartwright is still between two
to three weeks away from making a return from injury, but
Martin O'Connor should be fit after recovering from the
slight niggle he picked up in the win at Burton Albion in
midweek.

STEVENAGE BOROUGH
Manager Graham Westley will not name his side for the
clash at Burton Albion until the last possible moment
because of injury problems. He said: "We only had
eight at training ahead of last week's game, and we've
got loads of knocks - silly bits and pieces you get at
this time of year. It really is crystal ball time."

of tonsillitis.

TELFORD
Telford boss Mick Jones hopes to have injured duo Stuart
Whitehead and Paul Moore available for the home clash
with Aldershot. Former Darlington defender Whitehead has
had a steroid injection to help his ankle injury. Moore,
meanwhile, contin-ues to struggle with a ligament problem
he suffered in a behind-closed- doors friendly against
Chesterfield last week.

Boss Glenn Cockerill is expected to field the same
starting line-up against Scarborough. Cockerill has all
his players available for the Cardinals' second
successive home match. The only absentee is defender Gary
MacDonald, who sustained an ankle injury during
pre-season, so new signing Neil Sharp will retain his
place in the side.
