Hull defender Steve Burton to the club on loan following
an injury crisis at the Tigers.

starting line-up against Woking after stepping up his
recovery from a knee ligament injury. Clare looked sharp
when he came on as a second-half sub in the midweek draw

three-match suspension when his side travel to Margate.

Collins for the visit of Gravesend. Collins has been
missing for three weeks with a foot injury, but is likely
to be included in the squad. Fellow midfielder Gary

Stuart Drummond is ruled out with a long-term knee

can leave as he looks to freshen up his squad. Ian

back onto the pitch as he prepares his squad for the
clash with Scarborough. Westley is without Mark Westhead,

available for the visit of Barnet. The defender picked up
a foot injury in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat against Telford but

fresh injury worries after Tuesday's 1-1 draw with

his return from a thigh injury. Geoff Pitcher will
