Both Andy Simpson and striker Ravi Sangha are still unavailable and defender Matt Millns is working on the south coast. David Blenkinsopp could be out for two to three weeks due to an ankle injury.With on loan striker Sam Litchfield joining Eastwood Town and the fitness of both Liam Hebberd, who the Buxton trip because of illness, and Paul Edwards who is suffering from a back injury in doubt, Norton will call on the reserves tohelp fill his squad.
Introducing more reserve team players to the first-team fold is something Norton is looking to do between now and the end of the season.
Said Norton: "As well as Chris Mawbey there are a couple more who have done well in the reserves lately and we will have a look at them between now and the end of the season.
"The pressure is off in terms of the fact we are not going to get promoted or relegated and now might be the time to look at one or two with a view to next season."
