ACCRINGTON
STANLEY
Accrington will be without suspended duo Robbie Williams
and Steve Hollis for the clash with Halifax at the
Interlink Express Stadium. Ged Brannan faces a late
fitness test as he struggles to shake-off a thigh strain
and Andy Procter remains doubt-ful as he is still
suffering with a knee problem.

ALDERSHOT
Aldershot are hoping to have defensive duo Ray Warburton
and Dom Sterling back for their return to league action
against Gravesend. Warburton should be in contention
after shak-ing off a back injury, while Sterling is
expected to be available after resuming training
following an ankle problem. Goalkeeper Nikki Bull
(hamstring) is a non-starter.

BARNET
Barnet boss Martin Allen faces a selection headache ahead
of his side's trip to Exeter, with four players doubtful.
Allen is refusing to name the quartet, only revealing
that two are struggling with injury and two are suffering
from illness. Matt Redmile is in contention after
extending his short-term deal with the club.

CHESTER CITY
Chester boss Mark Wright has no fresh injury problems to
contend with ahead of his side's clash with Burton. The
Conference leaders came through their 2-1 victory over

EXETER
Exeter are sweating on the fitness of forward Steve Flack
ahead of their home clash against Barnet. Flack hobbled
out of City's 2-1 FA Trophy defeat at Aldershot with an
ankle injury. His place in attack could go to young
striker Les Afful, who switched from the wing to partner
Sean Devine in attack against the Shots.

SCARBOROUGH
Scarborough manager Russell Slade has been denied the
chance to sign Steve Jagielka on loan from Sheffield
United as Conference rules state that no more than two

ahead of the visit of Woking. But defender Jon Brady

Liam Cockerill is Woking's only injury worry ahead of the
trip to Stevenage. He sustained a calf injury in the
midweek defeat to Shrewsbury but is hoping to be fit in
time for the clash. Scott Canham is making good progress
in his recovery from a calf injury, but Chris Sharpling
(knee) and Ian Selley remain sidelined.
