Rangers injury worries
Stafford Rangers are still suffering the fallout from Saturday's refereeing shambles as they prepare to tackle York City at Kit Kat Crescent tonight.
Stafford Rangers are still suffering the fallout from Saturday's refereeing shambles as they prepare to tackle York City at Kit Kat Crescent tonight.
Skipper Wayne Daniel could join defensive partner Jimi Sangare on the sidelines after being crocked against Forest Green.
Sangare was sent off by the official in that match and serves a one-match ban, but Daniel was the victim of a tackle from behind that led to the visitor's third goal.
To make matters worse for manager Phil Robinson, striker Davis McNiven is also a non-starter and a fitness report is awaited on midfielder Kevin Street, who had tests at hospital yesterday.
Robinson said: "We are really stretched and it is going to have to be a case of shuffling the pack as best we can.
"Jimi Sangare is a massive loss to us - he has been excellent and people can see why I brought him to the club.
"He was sent off for winning the ball, yet Wayne has stud marks down the back of his ankle from a tackle from behind that led to Forest Green's third goal.
"The fact that he may not be able to play tonight only makes me more disappointed about the refereeing on Saturday."
McNiven is still suffering from a back strain, while Street was having tests on stomach and back pains.
"Kevin suffered a nasty fall in the game on Saturday and was having it checked out in Accident and Emergency as a precaution. I don't know whether he will be available," said Robinson, who has added himself to the squad, along with new signing Seb Hamilton.
Rangers, whose three match unbeaten run was unluckily ended at the weekend, face a York side who have also made an unimpressive start to the campaign.
But Robinson said: "I am really surprised about that - we've done our homework on them and they have a really big, strong squad, full of quality players.
"I think everybody expects them to pull away from the lower end ."
Rangers (from): Loach, Alcock, Sutton, Daniel, Avinel, Murray, Flynn, Street, Arnolin, Draper, Grayson, Adaggio, Ingram, Hopkinson, Oldfield, Robinson, Hamilton.
