Carlton Town Pre-Match News
Gresley manager Martin Rowe has told his players that Carlton will be coming to the Moat Ground looking for revenge after his side dumped the Millers out of the FA Trophy last month.
Although Gresley is coming into this game on the back of three good wins beating Chasetown, Trafford and Sutton Coldfield, he is asking his side not to be complacent when they take on 4th placed Carlton Town - 3pm. Carlton may have lost the prolific goal scorer Ruben Wiggins-Thomas due to budget restraints but Rowe is sure they will be a stern test for his side and are high in the league on merit."We played well at their place", said Rowe "and brought them back to the Moat Ground and were the better of the two sides and fully deserved our win but I know tomorrow's game will be a tough one for us so the support from the crowd will be important."
Rowe is forced to make one change tomorrow as young defender Lucas Harrison is suspended for one game due to accumulating five yellow cards. There will be one new face as Gresley has signed Alex Steadman from Stafford Rangers and he will go straight into the squad.
Mickey Lyons and Marc Strzyzewski return and there is good news for Moat Ground favourite Royce Turville. Turville has been out since early September but returned to training this week and should feature for the Reserves this weekend.
