Neil Young is out for 3 weeks following key hole surgery to resolve ankle problems.
Alan Connells first team return has been put back by at least another 4 weeks with news that he is to under go an operation. This time the op is to repair some damaged knee cartilege which was sustained during a reserve match against Bristol Rovers last month. This new injurt leaves Sean O'Driscoll with just 15 players for the trip to Tranmere given that Browning is out (suspended), as are Young and Holmes (both injured).
