Chasetown double injury doubt
Chasetown have doubts over defender Joe Williams and striker Dean Perrow for tonight's FA Trophy second qualifying round replay at Radcliffe Borough.
Chasetown have doubts over defender Joe Williams and striker Dean Perrow for tonight's FA Trophy second qualifying round replay at Radcliffe Borough.
Williams has a cut eye while 11-goal top scorer Perrow has hurt his ankle, and with Saturday's huge FA Cup first round clash at Team Bath looming, boss Charlie Blakemore admits he is having to maximise his resources.
"The biggest concern for us is picking up injuries for Saturday, but this is a big game for the club and I want to field very good side in both games," said Blakemore.
"We have to forget about Saturday and focus everything on tonight. But I might rotate a few players tonight to ensure we have to right squad for the weekend.
"This is a good opportunity to lads who have been on the bench such as Danny Smith, Paul Spacey and Karl Edwards, who all may come into contention."
Striker Lee Bullimore is available but fellow new frontman Nathan Lamy is cup-tied. Despite the unwanted fixture caused by Saturday's goalless draw, Blakemore is urging his side to see the positive side.
"We're going there with a positive attitude and we're looking to take the game to Radcliffe," he said.
"If the alternative is train for an hour and a half or play, the lads want to play every time. It means we're victims of our own success."
