Curtis Weston will miss the game through suspension. The midfielder picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Yeovil Town.

From the dugout:

James Rowe: “Maidenhead aren’t on a great run, but they haven’t really played at home. We know what the conditions are going to be like.

“I’ve been there a few times with Aldershot. It’s a tricky game. So, we have to respect what Alan [Devonshire] has done there.”
