Chasetown Pre-Match News
Gresley travel to the Scholars Ground tonight hoping to shake off their dismal start to the season. The only points the Moatmen have won so far this season has been on the road when they beat Scarborough Athletic.
Manager Martin Rowe will have a difficult choice to make as his side is short of strikers with both Dean Oliver and Royce Turville doubts for tonight's trip. Turville had to be substituted on Saturday after picking up a knee injury just before the break and Oliver succumbing to illness before the Loughborough game. Rowe admitted, "We are short of attackers at the moment. We'll have to see what is available and make a few phone calls - I'm sure we'll get someone in or promote someone from the youth team.
"It's a shame because Royce Turville was getting back to his old self. Last week he played well and he was playing well against Loughborough. It's just unfortunate but it seems to happen all at the same time."
Mark Strzyzewski, who also limped out of the action on Saturday with a dead leg is only rated as 50-50 and skipper Jamie Barrett who missed the last game will have to be assessed after a recent knee injury.
