ACCRINGTON
STANLEY
Accrington manager John Coleman has no selection problems
as his side make the trip to Barnet. Dean Calcutt and
Paul Cook are due to face suspensions following their
dismissals against Tamworth and Scarborough respectively,
but these do not take effect as yet. Accrington face a
tough test against the Bees, who have lost just one of
their six games.

ALDERSHOT
Aldershot boss Terry Brown is without the sus-pended Nick
Roddis as his side try to continue their impressive start
to the season at Morecambe. Roddis serves the first game
of a three-match ban for his dismissal against Woking
last month. Jim Rodwell is available again after
suspension, but he faces a late fit-ness test on a groin
injury.

BARNET
Barnet will be without in-form striker Giuliano Grazioli
when Accrington Stanley visit Underhill. Grazioli, who
hit a hat-trick in the 4-1 win over Halifax, could be out
for three weeks after a scan revealed ankle ligament
damage. The 28-year-old has scored eight times this
season since signing from Bristol Rovers in the summer.

BURTON ALBION
Burton defender Darren Wassall is expected to miss the
match against Woking with a tight hamstring which
returned during a run-out in a midweek friendly. Andy
Ducros (calf) is likely to miss out, while Christian
Moore plays his last game before the start of a
three-match ban. Albion will be without Ryan Sugden, who
has joined Morecambe.

CHESTER CITY
Chester manager Mark Wright is expected to name an
unchanged squad for the trip to Conference strugglers
Margate. The Gate have lost all three of their home
fixtures so far this season but Wright is guarding
against overconfidence. He said: "I'm not a manager
who takes anything for granted we'll show Margate the
utmost respect."

DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE
Dagenham & Redbridge
boss Garry Hill expects to have a clean bill of health
for the visit of Telford. The Daggers have had an
inconsistent start to the season, with two wins and four
defeats, a record Hill is keen to improve. "We've
got to get a result," he said. "It hasn't been
the best of starts."

EXETER
Striker Sean Devine is set to make his first start of the
season at home to Stevenage. Devine marked his return to
action with four goals in the reserves' 9-0 win at
Dawlish in midweek and as long as he suffers no reaction
to his knee injury he will come back into contention.
Gareth Sheldon could come back into the reckoning after
being sidelined with a shin injury.

FARNBOROUGH
Farnborough boss Tommy Taylor will leave his team
selection until as late as possible before naming his
side to face Hereford. Taylor admits he has "a few
worries" on the fitness front, including striker Ken
Charlery as Town look to build on last week's draw at
Exeter. He said: "We did all right last week. We
deserved our point."

FOREST GREEN
Forest Green face a race against time to have new
signings Jamie Moralee and Richard Kennedy available for
the trip to Leigh. The former Barry Town duo have agreed
terms, but are awaiting international clearance. Steve
Brodie could make his debut after signing on a month's
loan from Chester. Denny Ingram (back) is doubtful, while
Gareth Stoker (dislocated shoulder) is out.

GRAVESEND & NORTHFLEET
Gravesend & Northfleet manag-er Andy Ford could hand
a debut to Ben Walshe in the clash with Scarborough. The
midfielder is expected to complete a one-month loan move
from QPR in time to be included in an otherwise unchanged
squad. Francis Duku (thigh), Andy Drury (ankle), Paul
Wilkerson (ankle) and Robin Trott (foot) remain
sidelined.

HALIFAX TOWN
Darren Hockenhull could make his first start for Halifax
since the opening day of the season in the home clash
with Northwich. The right-back sustained a medial
ligament injury at Exeter on day one and will be in
contention to replace on-loan Jamie Price in the back
four. Midfielder Jon Cullen (groin and ribs) faces a late
fitness test.

HEREFORD UNITED
Manager Graham Turner looks likely to name an unchanged
starting XI for Hereford's trip to Farnborough. Turner
has no new injury worries as United look to cement their
position at the top of the table. Turner will be hoping
striker Danny Carey-Bertram will return to the squad
after he missed the wins over Aldershot and Stevenage
with a hamstring injury.

LEIGH RMI
Leigh RMI boss Mark Patterson has urged his play-ers to
start firing on all cylinders for the visit of struggling
Forest Green. Patterson has a fully-fit, suspension-free
squad for the clash with Rovers, which he sees as a big
bonus. "It is important because we've got a small
squad," Patterson said.

MARGATE
Manager Chris Kinnear is without Jean-Michel Sigere and
Bill Edwards ahead of the visit of Chester, but has an
other-wise full-strength squad. Both have long-standing
knee injuries, although Kinnear is confident they will be
back in action "within the next couple of
weeks". Kinnear said: "It should be a good game
-they are a massive club doing very well at the
moment."

MORECAMBE
Morecambe boss Jim Harvey could hand a debut to striker
Ryan Sugden in the clash with Aldershot. Sugden has
signed from Burton Albion and is expected to go straight
into the squad, but may have to settle for a place on the
bench. Garry Thompson is the only injury doubt after he
suffered a bruised foot against Burton.

NORTHWICH VICTORIA
Northwich boss Steve Davis hopes the capture of Mark
Barnard from Tamworth will inspire a change of for-tune
for the Vics. The left-back is expected to sign on a
non-con-tract basis in time to start against Halifax.
Davis said: "Mark Barnard is a good motivator and
we've been a little bit quiet so far."

SCARBOROUGH
Manager Russ Slade has completed the sign-ing of
Bohemians striker Alex Nesovic ahead of the visit of
Gravesend. The 30-year-old, who has been on loan at
Barrow, is expected to partner Mark Quayle up front.
Midfielder Nick Henry may return having missed the last
three matches with an ankle injury. Keith Graydon will
arrive at the club on Monday for a trial.

SHREWSBURY
Shrewsbury boss Jimmy
Quinn is without keep-er Ian Dunbavin (thigh) for the
televised clash with Tamworth, so Scott Howie deputises
again. Quinn rates Gregor Rioch (ham-string) at
"70/30" to make the game. Darren Moss is still
being hampered with shin splints but trained on Thursday,
while Dave Edwards has been ruled out with a sprained
toe.

STEVENAGE BOROUGH
Stevenage boss Graham Westley will include Dino Maamria
in his squad for the Exeter trip after the strik-er
jetted back into the country from America this week. The
Tunisian re-signed for Boro earlier this week after
gaining interna-tional clearance. Midfielder Steve Watson
and defender Jason Goodliffe are both back in contention
after recovering from injuries.

TAMWORTH
Tamworth boss Darron Gee is waiting on the fitness of
Mark Cooper ahead of the clash with Shrewsbury. Cooper
was taken off at half-time during the 1-1 draw with
Accrington after sus-taining a groin strain. Mark Turner
remains on the sidelines with a heel injury which is
expected to keep him out of action for the next four
weeks.

TELFORD
Telford face a striker
crisis ahead of the trip to Dagenham. Lee Mills is
struggling with a persistent back problem, while Michael
Blackwood (calf) and Justin Rowe are almost certain to
miss out. John Grant has a minor knock, but he could make
the game. Trevor Challis should be available despite
suffering a kick to the head during the draw at
Scarborough.

WOKING
Woking boss Glenn
Cockerill could welcome back defender Neil Sharp for the
tricky-looking trip to Burton. Sharp has missed the
Cards' last two games with an ankle injury but will be in
contention for a place in Cockerill's side if he
recovers. Fellow defender Gary MacDonald (ankle) could
also force his way back into Cockerill's plans.
