Wrexham Team News:
Wrexham are still with out Alex Smith who is suffering from Achilles trouble
and he is joined on the sidelines by Brian Carey who picked up a knee injury
during training this week. On the plus side Darren Ferguson and Jim Whitley
are available are as Craig Morgan, Matt Crowell and Dennis Lawrence who have
all returned OK from international duty, although Lawrence returned on
Friday after his flight was delayed due to the airport in Trinidad being
closed due to Hurricane Ivan. Taking all this into account then Andy Dibble
will be in goal with Shaun Pejic most likely to replace Carey in defence to
play alongside Steve Roberts and Dennis Lawrence. Midfield will see some
changes with Denis Smith even reverting back to a three man midfield.
Captain Darren Ferguson will be recalled alongside Danny Williams with Matt
Crowell or Jim Whitley taking the last midfield spot. Whitley could be an
option at right wing back but Dean Bennett is expected to retain his place
in the absence of Carlos Edwards with Andy Holt unchanged on the left. As
Chris Llewellyn has failed to score this season then it will be a real
surprise if Denis Smith does not go with Hector Sam and Chris Armstrong up
front.
Opposition Team News: Bradford have no new injury or suspension
worries ahead of their visit to The Racecourse and keeper Donovan Ricketts
is available after he returned from international duty with Jamaica on
Friday afternoon.. |
