Team News

Jak McCourt and Joel Taylor are in contention to return to the team after the pair missed Saturday’s game at Barnet game due to injury.

From the dugout:

James Rowe: “To come back and perform like that [the Barnet performance], I think that shows a lot about the group.

“I was really impressed, but it’s quickly forgotten. We learn from that. Can we now go into Tuesday and back that win up?”
