Norton Utd Pre-Match News
Gresley make the trip to the Potteries tonight to play league new boys Norton United - 7.45pm.
When Norton visited the Moat Ground in August Gresley achieved a comfortable win but manager Wayne Thornhill is expecting a much tougher encounter this time.Norton have had a splendid well documented FA Cup run which was ended by Conference high-flyers Gateshead and their league form, which has continue to improve, saw them get a narrow win at Chasetown on Saturday.
Thornhill will once more have to make changes to his line-up with not only Lucas Harrison missing serving the second of his three match ban but also skipper Jamie Barrett. He also has one eye on the FA Trophy game at Halesowen on Saturday.
"There may be one or two changes tonight." said Thornhill. "I may make changes in midfield although they were quite solid against Market Drayton. With Halesowen in mind I may tweak it a little."
