Stamford Pre-Match News
Manager Gary Norton again faces the task of patching up his Rovers squad ahead of this weekend's game at Stamford.
Rovers will go into the game without Lee Fell (holiday), Chris Mawbey (work commitments) and Zak Callahan (work commitments) whilst the manager is also uncertain as to the availability of Matt Weightman (work) and Martyn Rowntree (personal reasons) ahead of the game. Definately not making the trip to the Vic Couzins Stadium will be Oliver Hancock who has informed the club that a change in his job will require him to work Saturdays - thus ruling him out for the rest of the season.
Also missing for the forseeable future will be Pat Lyon's who has yet to kick a ball for the club. Lyons is suffering from a troublesome hip injury and has advised manager Gary Norton that it will probably rule him out for the rest of the campaign.
This leaves Norton with a threadbare squad and as such a number of Reserve Team players look set to be called upon. Craig Tucker looks set to continue his run in the squad whilst Adam Thorley and Chris Nicholls are also named for the trip.
