Match Build Up

Team News

Wrexham Scunthorpe United
Injuries: Wrexham are expected to be without Paul Barrett (hernia), Dan Bennett (knee), Lee Jones (calf) and Hector Sam will have a Saturday morning fitness test on a hamstring. Waynne Phillips and Paul Whitfield are still out. Injuries: Steve Torpey is extremely doubtful after picking up a dead leg at Exeter over a week a go whilst on loan defender Cliff Byrne awaits the results of a knee scan.
Suspensions: None. Suspensions: Wayne Graves and Nathan Stanton face one match bans.
Squad (19): Dibble, Carey, Lawrence, Roberts, C Edwards, P Edwards, Ferguson, Whitley, Thomas, Morrell, Trundle, Rogers, Pejic, Holmes, Russell, Sam, Jones, Spender, Stacey. Other News: With Torpey expected not to make manager Brian laws has to decide to play a 4-3-3 with Scott Brough and Lee Featherstone push forward to play with top scorer Martin Carruthers. The other option is teenage striker Lee Hayes who scored his first goal last week and after playing only 45 minutes for the reserves in midweek that may signal Laws intention to feature him from the start. Peter Beagrie made an impressive comeback from injury in the reserves with a hall of six goals in the 10-1 defeat over Mansfield and his stunning performance could see a recall for the veteran winger. Matt Sparrow is available after serving a suspension and Alex Calvo-Garcia will keep his place in the side.
Other News: With Wrexham's squad stretched with injuries Kevin Russell has been drafted in along with youngsters Mark Jones, Simon Spender and Alec Stacey. In goal will is Andy Dibble and Steve Roberts returns t replace Bennett in defence alongside Brian Carey and Dennis Lawrence. Darren Ferguson, Jim Whitley and Steve Thomas form the midfield with Carlos Edwards as right wing back and Paul Edwards on the left. Lee Trundle partners Andy Morrell up front in the absence of lee Jones and doubts over Hector Sam.
