Bromsgrove pre-match news
Manager Jon Newsome will be without two defenders for the visit of Bromsgrove Rovers as Ian Bluck serves his final game of a three match suspension and left back Gary White begins his three game ban.
White was red carded, unjustly, at Atherstone two weeks ago and Newsome has been told by the FA that it is not worth appealing without video evidence which as far as he knows, no team in the Dr Martens Western Division or even the Premier Division employ.Reserve team left back Nathan Tate has been added to the squad and could start. Newsome said: “I am still undecided about it at the moment, but there is a good chance that Tate could start. It’s going to be a difficult match and it will be a chance for him to show us what he can do.
Newsome has named himself in the squad and is likely to be on the bench.
The three youngsters Carl Timms Carl Slater and Matt Moran, who have made an impression in their games, are also included.
The squad:
Lindley, Wardle, Parkinson, Evans, Cheetham, Tate, Gray, Timms, Peters, Barrett, Bourne, Kitching, Hopkins, Slater, Moran, Newsome, Sheils (gk).
