FOREST GREEN
Manager Colin Addison will be without Gareth Stoker due
to a shoulder injury as Rovers seek their first victory
of the season when they face Accrington Stanley at home.

HEREFORD UNITED
Have been boosted by the news that joint top-scorer Steve
Guinan will be available to face Barnet. Guinan, who
along with Ben Smith has plundered four goals in three
games, had a thigh problem during the week but has been

absentee.

LEIGH RMI
The only injury restricting manager Mark Patterson's
options for the home clash with Halifax is Gerry
Harrison's collar-bone problem. Patterson believes the
Shaymen will represent his side's most difficult
examination so far, saying: "Halifax is going to be
our toughest game to date. They've got a strong squad
with good players."

MARGATE
Margate are likely to be without Jean-Michel Sigere for
the trip to Tamworth. The French-born striker was forced
off just before half-time in the 1-0 defeat by Exeter
last weekend with a knee injury and is struggling to

starting line-up.

MORECAMBE
Jim Harvey has no new injuries to worry about as he
prepares his side for the home match against Dagenham.
The game pits two of last season's play-off contenders
against each other and Harvey is hungry for the three

looking to win it."

NORTHWICH VICTORIA
Manager Steve Davis rates Val Owen as doubtful for what
he has described as "the biggest test of the sea-son

STEVENAGE BOROUGH
Boss Graham Westley has no new injury worries for the
clash with Northwich but was unhappy with the 1-1 draw at
Burton and could make changes. Goalkeeper Mark Westhead
is still out with a knee injury and is some way off
return-ing to action, so Nathan Abbey continues in goal.

Expect to have a fully-fit squad available for their

Woking will be without Jon Boardman as they attempt to
burst Aldershot's balloon. The defender is serving a
one-match ban imposed after he was sent off in the 2-1
defeat by Morecambe. Woking have since beaten Gravesend
and Scarborough and will be looking to continue that run
against the Conference new-boys.
