ACCRINGTON
STANLEY
Accrington striker Lutel James believes his side will
benefit from their enforced lay-off. The Reds' scheduled
trip to Telford on Saturday has been postponed because of
the Bucks' involvement in the FA Trophy semi-finals and
James feels a weekend off will help Stanley recharge
their batteries.

four players ahead of his side's clash with Margate at
Eton Park. Clough has doubts over skipper Darren Stride
(groin), Aaron Webster (hamstring), Ian Wright (head

deadline.

EXETER
Exeter could be boosted by the return of defender Santos
Gaia for the home game against Leigh RMI. Boss Eamonn
Dolan is hoping the Brazilian has shrugged off the knock
which caused him to miss the Grecians' 3-2 win at
Scarborough. Top scor-er Sean Devine (groin) and
target-man Steve Flack (virus) are both available.

LEIGH RMI
Leigh RMI manager Phil Starbuck will have a near
full-strength squad to chose from ahead of the long trip

long-term casualty with a broken finger, remains
Starbuck's only injury worry. Leigh have no suspensions
as they look to end a three-game winless streak.

Scarborough have been boosted by the news that an injury
to Scott Kerr is not as serious as was first thought. The
tough-tackling midfielder was injured in a challenge in
the 41st minute of the 3-2 defeat against Exeter. There
were fears he had broken his leg but tests have shown it
is just badly bruised.

SHREWSBURY
Shrewsbury manager Jimmy Quinn has several injury

Lowe.

Striker Brian Quailey (hamstring) is out, but Gee can
welcome back goal-keeper Ryan Price, midfielder Marcus
Ebdon (Achilles) and defend-er Adie Smith (ankle). Gee
has signed Notts County keeper Greg Smith on work

TELFORD
Telford manager Mick Jones has called on everyone to come
together as they fight for the club's future. The news
that chairman Andy Shaw has been forced to put his
business empire into receivership has stunned everyone at
the New Bucks Head but Jones told the Shropshire Star:
"The players will obviously take it hard but I am
sure I will get a positive response from them because
people always bond together in a crisis."
