Whittle Out but Joseph Returns

Last updated : 22 March 2003 By Andy Beill
He's accumulated 5 yellow cards so misses the game, but Peter Taylor has options to replace the centre back. Either Damien Delaney or Jon Otsemobor could move inside from full back, while Marc Joseph should be fit to return.

Midfielder Richie Appleby is seeing a specialist about a niggling ankle injury that's restricting his ability to train. He could be rested, with Steve Melton the clearest replacement.

Otherwise, Taylor is expected to stick with the same players who drew 1-1 with Torquay in midweek.

Expected line-up (4-4-2): Fettis; Otsemobor, Anderson, Delaney, Smith; Reeves, Appleby, Keates, Elliott; Walters, Forrester.
Subs: Musselwhite, Joseph, Regan, Melton, Jevons.
