We have Jaymo (Jack James) and Callum McGarry back from holiday. Danny Hayes returned to training but we need to nurse him back. I’m hoping he can get on the pitch soon but if we have to wait we will wait. He is our captain and massively important to the club.

Leyton Nethercot has stepped up from the academy and looks a good prospect so he will get his chance on Saturday.

We welcome Gresley FC, and I’m hoping they can bring a few supporters. Having been relegated last year I am sure they will have a squad ready and capable of challenging for promotion. Having played for the club I know what the club means to the fans and local community and relegation would have hurt.

I would also like to publicly thank Gary Norton for everything he has done for me and Gresley FC.

Again this Saturday will be another opponent from a higher level so it will be a good test

See you all Saturday
