ALDERSHOT
Aldershot boss Terry Brown was full of praise for his
side after victory over Stevenage enhanced their play-off
chances. He said: "Obviously, it was pleasing to
bounce back from a terrible performance on Saturday. They
are always hard to beat and to get six points off them
this year is something that gives me undoubted
pleasure."

BARNET
Paul Fairclough takes over as caretaker manager for
Barnet's home clash with Scarborough after Martin Allen
confirmed his appointment at Brentford. Liam Hatch is
ruled out after being rushed to hospital with an ankle
injury, but Joe Gamble (knee) and Guy Lopez (hamstring)
could return. Des Hamilton is still waiting to make his
debut.

BURTON ALBION
Burton player-manager Nigel Clough has been boosted by
the return to fitness of veteran defender Darren Wassall
for the trip to Leigh. The 35-year-old has recovered from
the calf injury which ruled him out of the 4-1 midweek
romp at Halifax, and is now expected to travel with the
squad.

CHESTER CITY
Mark Wright has a goalkeeping dilemma on his hands ahead
of Chester's trip to Accrington. Loan stopper Iain Turner
has returned to the club following his midweek appearance
for Scotland's Under-21 side. But Wright may decide to
keep faith with youngster Andy Woods following his
impressive performance in Tuesday's 2-0 win against
Telford.

DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE
Defender Tim Cole is out of Dagenham's clash with
Gravesend through suspension. Cole was booked for the
10th time this season against Woking. Danny Shipp came in
for Leon Braithwaite last weekend, but Shipp failed to
repeat his goalscoring cameo at Woking, so Hill may be
tempted to alter his attack once again.

EXETER
Fourth-placed Exeter are hoping defender Chris Todd
(ankle) passes a fitness test to feature against play-off
rivals Shrewsbury. Top scorer Sean Devine, who took his
tally to 27 goals with two stoppage-time goals against
Leigh last weekend, and fel-low forward Steve Flack are
expected to come back into starting contention.

FARNBOROUGH
Manager Vic Searle will be without suspended defender
Sasha Opinel for Farnborough's clash with Margate.
Goalkeeper Mark Osborn is struggling with an injury, so,
with reserve stopper Jon Ashwood unavailable, Boro have
gained spe-cial dispensation to register former Camberley
keeper Paul Trenter. Loan striker Andre Fashanu is a
doubt as he is suffering from flu.

FOREST GREEN
Boss Tim Harris could have Sekani Simpson available for
Forest Green's trip to Morecambe. Simpson has been
sidelined with a hamstring injury he sustained against
Shrewsbury but resumed training this week and has an
outside chance of making the game. Michael Green, a
deadline day signing from Southampton, may be handed his
debut.

GRAVESEND & NORTHFLEET
Gravesend have three new injury concerns resulting from
their midweek game at Leigh for the trip to Dagenham.
Defender Lee Shearer is almost definitely out with a
thigh strain which forced him off during the 2-1 win. Roy
Essandoh (twisted ankle) and fellow striker Manny
Omoyinmi (thigh) were also replaced and are rated
touch-and-go. THEFLEET

HALIFAX TOWN
Halifax boss Chris Wilder welcomes back suspended pair
Craig Midgley and Denny Ingram for the clash with
Hereford. Wilder, who was keeping his starting line-up
under wraps, has doubts over midfield duo Val Owen
(ankle) and Steve Bushell (knee), but is hopeful one or
both will pass late fitness tests.

HEREFORD UNITED
Hereford boss Graham Turner, the Nationwide Conference
Manager of the Month, could once again be without forward
Mark Beasley for the trip to Halifax. Beasley has been
struggling with a viral infection and is likely to join
midfielder Ben Smith (dislocated shoulder) on the
sidelines at the Shay.

LEIGH RMI
Leigh manager Phil Starbuck is sweating on the fit-ness
of Paul Shepherd (thigh strain) for the home clash
against Burton. There are also fitness concerns over
Steve Redmond, who was forced to limp out of the 2-1
defeat to Gravesend after suffer-ing a recurrence of a
groin injury.

MARGATE
Margate should have midfield pair Adrian Clarke and John
Keister back for the visit of Farnborough. Clarke missed
last week's win at Telford due to illness, while Keister
is available fol-lowing a three-game ban. But Jake Leberl
sits out a one-match sus-pension and there are doubts
over strikers Jean-Michel Sigere (leg) and Darren Watson
(ankle).

Morecambe boss Jim Harvey will still be without suspended
duo Dean Howell and Jim Bentley for the home clash with

from Conference rivals Shrewsbury last month. Rioch has

Scarborough will be without suspended mid-fielder Jimmy
Kelly for the trip to Barnet. Defender Steve Baker could
return after a back problem, Scott Kerr is struggling to
over-come a bruised shin, while Tony Hackworth is
doubtful with a jarred knee. Keith Gilroy could return to
the squad after an eight-month lay-off.

SHREWSBURY
Darren Moss is suspended for Shrewsbury's clash with
Exeter. The game may have come too soon for injured duo
Jamie Tolley (ankle) and Dave Edwards (arm). Martin
O'Connor (calf) faces a late fitness test, but Dave
Ridler, who missed the midweek clash with Barnet due to
flu, will be available again.

STEVENAGE BOROUGH
Stevenage manager Graham Westley is awaiting news on the
injury which ended Ross Weatherstone's involve-ment in
the 2-0 defeat against Aldershot. The defender was
stretchered off with a suspected cartilage problem with
just five minutes of the game remaining, leaving Boro to
play the final stages with just 10 men.

TAMWORTH
Tamworth will be missing midfielder Jason Blunt against
Woking as he begins a two-match ban. Defensive duo Dave
Robinson and Lee Ayres face late fitness tests after
sustaining knocks in last week's 2-0 defeat at Gravesend.
Brian Quailey (ham-string) is rated touch-and-go after
missing out last week, while Adie Smith (ankle) may
return.

TELFORD
Telford manager Mick Jones hailed his side's effort and
commitment as they slumped to a 2-0 defeat against
Chester. The Bucks squad have agreed to take a pay cut to
help the finan-cially- stricken club, and Jones said:
"I think the players have come out of the last few
days with enormous credit."

Ian Selley is in contention for a place in Woking's
starting line-up against Tamworth. Selley completed 90
minutes against Leatherhead in the Surrey Senior Cup
semi-final on Tuesday following a stress fracture in his
foot. But manager Glenn Cockerill has a doubt over
Michael Johnson who has a leg injury.
