Team News |
|
| Wrexham | Kidderminster Harriers |
| Injuries: Loads! In goal Andy Dibble has still not recovered and Paul Whitfield was sent home after feeling ill. Dennis Lawrence will again have a fitness test before the game on his toe and Shaun Pejic has been laid low with a mystery virus for the past two days. To make matters worse Brian Carey is struggling with his achiles. That's the defence covered, now onto the rest of the team! Paul Barrett is due for a hernia operation next month but will play and Jim Whitley should be OK after twisting his ankle last week. On the wing Paul Edwards has a bad back whilst Andy Morrell is suffering from a dead leg. | Injuries: Scott Stamps had an operation on his abductor muscle and will be out for four months and Adie Smith will be missing for up to six weeks after microsurgery on his ankle. |
| Suspensions: None. | Suspensions: None. |
| Squad (16): Whitfield, C. Edwards, Pejic, Lawrence, Roberts, P. Edwards, Whitley, Ferguson, Barrett, Morrell, Trundle, L Jones, Sam, Holmes, Morgan, Rogers. | Squad (19): Brock, Danby, Joy, Melligan, Ayres, Hinton, Williams, Coleman, Parrish, Flynn, Bennett, Shilton, Ducros, Doyle, Foster, Broughton, Bishop, Henriksen, Khela. |
| Other News: At the moment Denis Smith only has two fit defenders in Steve Roberts and scholar Craig Morgan, as Dan Bennett is way on international duty. Hopefully Dennis Lawrence will be OK to play and Morgan will only get a game if Shaun Pejic is ruled out. Paul Whitfield will play if he is not struck down through illness otherwise Kristian Rogers will make his first start of the season in goal. Darren Ferguson will return to the centre of midfield and Steve Thomas will drop to the bench unless Jim Whitley or Paul Barrett drop out although both are expected to be fit. Carlos Edwards will be on the right wing and Shaun Holmes will play on the left if Paul Edwards is ruled out. Up front will be Lee Trundle and he will be partnered by Andy Morrell if he shakes off a dead leg, otherwise Lee Jones will get the nod ahead of Hector Sam. | Other News: Danny Williams is not guaranteed to return to the side to play against his former club after serving a one game suspension. Striker Drewe Broughton received his second red card of the season last week and this angered manager Ian Britton. That could mean Bo Henriksen partnering Andrew Bishop up front. The other options open to Britton is to revert to a 4-4-2 and that could mean Danny Williams getting a start as a central defender after Harriers have conceded ten goals in the last five games to drop out of the play off spots in recent weeks. |
