Belper Town Pre-Match News
Gresley return to league action tonight after their recent FA Cup and FA Trophy exploits. The visitors to the Moat Ground are former UniBond rivals and near neighbours Belper Town - 7.45pm.
Although Belper languish near the foot of the table Gresley manager Gary Norton will be taking nothing for granted as he firmly believes that The Nailers' position is a false one."They're a bit like us in that they've had a lot of cup games, and I think they're still in the FA Trophy, says Norton."They may be second-bottom but they've only lost one game all season — they've had a lot of draws. You only have to look at what they did last season to know it won't be easy."
Norton has a few injury problems to deal with, particularly midfielder Gareth Langford, who will miss tonight's game with a groin problem that forced him off after just 32 minutes of the Ilkeston defeat.
Craig Attwood replaced Langford, and could do so again. Jordi Gough (ankle), Jamie Barrett (abductor) and Michael Nottingham (eye) are all doubts. Royce Turville and Dan Douglas are both still injured.
