Belper pre-match news
Gresley Rovers manager Gary Norton has had to make more changes for the Derbyshire Senior Cup 3rd tie against the Nailers at the Moat Ground tonight - 7.45pm.
Striker Shaun Harrad picked up an ankle injury and will be rested. Defender Andy Cheetham is struggling with an Achilles injury and is a doubt for tonight’s game.Nathan Tate is out with a dislocated shoulder and Gary White will face a fitness test to see if he has overcome his knee injury.
However, Liam Walshe will be back in the side after being cup-tied against Matlock to face his former club.
Ian Pit and Michael Lonergan have been drafted into the squad.
Norton said: “We are going in to the game to win it but you have to prioritise at times. We are in the Dr Martens Cup, FA Trophy and Derbyshire Cup as well as trying to do well in the league.
“With the injuries we are a bit thin but this gives us a chance to change things around a bit.”
