Heath Hayes Pre-Match News
Carl Slater returns to the Gresley squad for his first game since last October after leaving to join Mickelover Sports and then moving on to Heanor Town who he helped take the East Midlands Counties League crown at the weekend.
Gresley retained the popular midfielder's Midland Alliance registration and he comes back to the Moat Ground as cover with Mickey Lyons having two more games to sit out and James Jepson along with Danny Holmes missing the final game of the season due to suspension.Matt Hill (knee) and Gareth Langford (ankle), who can both play in midfield, are both out for the season and Jamie Barrett is struggling with a groin problem.
Assistant manager Martin Rowe knows his side must be at their best for tonight's important game at the Moat Ground against Heath Hayes commenting: "We need to tighten up at both ends of the pitch. We should have been six goals ahead at halftime at Causeway if we'd have converted the chances, and then we made a couple of defensive slips which made for a tense final fifteen minutes."
