ACCRINGTON
STANLEY
Manager John Coleman could be without Andy Procter for
the visit of Northwich. The midfielder took a heavy knock
to a knee in the Lancashire FA Marsden Challenge Trophy
semi-final victory over Radcliffe. Robbie Williams begins
a three-match suspension but Lee McEvilly is available
after his loan spell from Rochdale was extended for a
further month.

ALDERSHOT
Aldershot manager Terry Brown will be without a host of
first-choice players for the visit of Leigh RMI. Though

elbow.

BARNET
Barnet make the long trip north to face play-off rivals
Morecambe with four players suspended. Liam Hatch and
Matt Redmile start one-match bans after collecting five
yellow cards, joining Chris Plummer and Danny Maddix on
the sidelines. Manager Martin Allen is boosted by the
news that Guy Lopez is fit again after recovering from a
hamstring strain.

BURTON ALBION
Burton boss Nigel Clough is facing up to an injury
headache as he prepares his side for the trip to Exeter.
Ian Wright is doubtful with a calf problem sustained in
the FA Trophy defeat by Hornchurch, and Clough is likely
to be without captain Darren Stride (groin). Terry
Henshaw, Glenn Kirkwood and Andy Ducros are also on the
treatment table.

CHESTER CITY
Chester boss Mark Wright is expected to name an unchanged
squad for the home clash with Dagenham. Wright has no
fresh injury worries or suspensions, and is likely to
keep faith with the side which beat Farnborough 3-2 a
fortnight ago. Wright is working to secure the services
of Kidderminster midfielder Danny Williams on a month's
loan.

DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE
Dagenham travel to Chester with the squad weakened by
suspensions and injuries. Chris Piper will be ineligible
for the Deva Stadium clash as he serves a one-game
suspension for being booked five times this season. And
back-up goalkeeper Dan Naisbitt, currently playing second
fiddle to Tony Roberts, is expected to miss out due to a
knee injury.

EXETER
Exeter manager Eamon Dolan is likely to keep strike
partners Sean Devine and Steve Flack up front for his
side's home clash with Burton Albion. Top-scorer Devine,
with 17 goals for the Grecians this season, is on form as
is Flack, who scored two goals in last weekend's FA
Trophy 3-2 victory over Arlesey Town.

FARNBOROUGH
Farnborough boss Vic Searle could be without the services
of two players for the trip to Tamworth. Searle has
doubts over Anthony Charles, who is struggling to shake
off a bout of flu, while Nick Burton's participation has
been put in doubt by a hip injury. Paul Harkness,
however, may return following hamstring problems.

FOREST GREEN
Forest Green welcome back Gareth Stoker for the home game
against Gravesend. The midfielder returns to the fold
after missing the last two matches through suspension.
Long-term casualties Kevin Langan and Neil Grayson are
still sidelined, while Darren Jones and Alex Meechan play
the last game of their loan spells from Bristol City and
Dagenham respectively.

GRAVESEND & NORTHFLEET
Midfielder Moussa Sidibe is likely to make his Gravesend
debut at Forest Green. Sidibe has been granted
international clearance after joining from French side
Creteil until the end of the season. Manager Andy Ford
has also signed goalkeeper Charlie Mitten on a
non-contract basis from Margate. He will be named on the
bench. THEFLEET

HALIFAX TOWN
Halifax boss Chris Wilder is sweating on the fitness of
two key players ahead of the clash with Stevenage at
Broadhall Way. Striker Lewis Killeen has an ankle knock,
while midfielder Val Owen is struggling with a back
injury. Both face late fitness tests and are rated as
"touch and go" to make the squad.

HEREFORD UNITED
Hereford boss Graham Turner will be without midfielder
Ben Smith for the visit of Woking. He dislocated a
shoulder in last week's win at Gravesend and will be out
for several weeks. On-loan duo Anwar Uddin and Chris
Palmer have returned to Bristol Rovers and Derby
respectively, but Jamie Pitman and Ryan Green could be
straight replacements.

LEIGH RMI
Leigh manager Phil Starbuck must contend with a lengthy
list of suspensions when his struggling side travel to
Aldershot. Defenders Carl Rezai and Wayne Maden begin
suspensions after both were dismissed in the 4-3 defeat
against Tamworth, while Martin Lancaster and David
McNiven serve one-match bans. Boss Phil Starbuck has no
fresh injury worries.

MARGATE
Manager Chris Kinnear has doubts over two players ahead
of Margate's second meeting in five days with Telford.
Midfielder Jay Saunders sustained a sore foot during
Tuesday's 3-0 FA Trophy defeat, and Kinnear rates him
"extremely doubtful" to recover in time for the
weekend clash, while striker Sam Sodje is struggling with
a groin injury.

MORECAMBE
Morecambe manager Jim Harvey has signed midfielder Chris
Blackburn ahead of the crunch home clash with Barnet.
Blackburn, who has joined from Northwich for a nominal
fee until the end of the season, goes straight into the
squad. However, Harvey could be without defender Shaun
Garnett, who sustained a calf strain in last week's 4-2
win over Farnborough.

NORTHWICH VICTORIA
Northwich manager Shaun Teale believes Chris Royle has an
outside chance of featuring in the match at Accrington.
Royle's groin injury has improved significantly but he
will have to prove his fitness, while Mark Devlin is
carrying a hamstring injury but should be available. Paul
McGuire (knee) will play no part.

SCARBOROUGH
Steve Baker (hamstring), Steve Capper (cracked rib) and
Jacques Williams (ankle) are likely to be missing for
Scarborough against Shrewsbury, and there are still
doubts over Wayne Gill (foot) and Scott Kerr (ankle).
Mark Hotte returns from suspension to take his place in
defence, but Iain Davidson is unable to play as he is
awaiting international clearance.

SHREWSBURY
Shrewsbury's Dave Ridler faces a race against time to be
fit to face his former club. The centre-half is
struggling with a groin strain sustained in the FA Trophy
win at Altrincham and is a major doubt for the clash with
Scarborough. Duane Darby is likely to play up front
despite not scoring in seven matches.

STEVENAGE BOROUGH
Stevenage boss Graham Westley looks set to welcome back
Barry Laker for the visit of Halifax to Broadhall Way.
The defender is back in training following surgery on
knee ligament damage and should make the squad. However,
Mark Rogers will be forced to watch from the sidelines as
he serves a one-match suspension.

TAMWORTH
Tamworth manager Darron Gee could recall James Lindley
from Hucknall Town if he fails to sign one of two
goalkeeping targets ahead of the clash with Farnborough.
Gee is also sweating on the fitness of Lee Ayres (groin),
Marcus Ebdon (heel), Mark Cooper (ankle), Adie Smith and
Brian Quailey (both hamstring).

TELFORD
Telford manager Mick Jones is expected to hand new
arrival Craig Stanley his debut at Margate. Jones signed
the Walsall midfielder earlier this week but he was
ineligible to play in Tuesday's FA Trophy win over
Margate. Jones said: "This is a totally different
game to the Trophy and we will approach it in a different
way."

WOKING
Davis Haule returns from injury to boost the Woking
attack ahead of the clash at Hereford. Haule is back in
contention following a leg injury, but Woking will be
without striker Chris Sharpling, who has undergone
surgery to repair cruciate ligament damage. Gary
MacDonald is available after a one-game ban.
