Shrewsbury boss Jimmy Quinn will be without midfielder
Jamie Tolley for the trip to Tamworth as he serves a

available for the match against Shrewsbury. The
21-year-old defender, who has spent a month on loan with
Gee's side, has joined on a permanent basis after being

TELFORD
Telford boss Mick Jones is unlikely to risk Chris Murphy
against Dagenham despite a significant improvement in his
hamstring injury. Murphy, who has netted nine goals in
six games, was replaced towards the end of the 5-1
victory over Accrington. Jones said: "I think we've
caught the injury early enough and I don't expect him to
be out long-term."

Woking boss Glenn Cockerill has no injury or suspension
worries ahead of the clash with Burton. Goalkeeper Ashley
Bayes is in contention after recovering from a back
problem but loan signing Scott Bevan is likely to
continue in goal. Bevan has conceded just one goal in
three Conference games since his arrival from Southampton
two weeks ago.
