Crunch Time

Last updated : 01 February 2007 By @pnemad
After bolstering his squad Simpson has to bounce back from Tuesday night's defeat at Layer Road with three points against Wednesday before the tope two positions are out of sight.

Nugent is expected to start but with who could be anyone's guess. Mellor, Ormeros, Ricketts and dichio all fighting for one spot. Whaley may well start on the right after impressing again recently.

The midfield now has competition with Mckenna likely to start but again with who is up for deable. New boy Pergl may well get a call up with Davidson, Pugh and Sedgewick all filling in over the past few weeks.

The left side has been occupied by Lewis Neal recently but the gaffer could fancy the experience of Pugh. St Ledger will be pushing Wilson for a spot at the back alongside Chilvers whilst new boy Soley may well make the squad as defensive cover.

Andy Lonergan is set to remain in between the sticks with Wayne Henderson set to warm the bench, Nash being exluded completely.
