More good news is that Maidstone’s 20 goal leading goal scorer, Levi Amantchi, has left them to join Bromley.

McGavin available tomorrow and banned on Saturday:-

Midlandgull the rumour is Livingston FC who are bottom of the Scottish Premiership with 11 points from 16 games!!

At the start of the season people were saying that suspensions in this league do not come in to effect until a week later; having said that it doesn’t always seem to work out that way. I guess we’ll find out an hour before the kick off on Tuesday.

Why would that be the case? If you're right it might be handy in giving others time to return for 7 days time.

Don't think Johnson would play him anyway if he was off. We are not missing him - 5 wins on the trot .

Good news to have WJD back. Based on the update from Downes, I think this is the latest picture:

GK Halstead

FB Craske (not 100% fit but probably available)
FB Crowe
FB Martin (not 100% fit but probably available)
FB/MF Donnellan
FB Harris
CB Tomlinson
CB Marshall
CB Moxey
CB Thomas

CM Hall
CM Lapslie (not 100% fit but probably available)

The picture looks a little bit better. Hopefully we can get through Saturday and not risk anyone unnecessarily. Fingers crossed we get Jarvis and Dawson available really soon!

Will Jenkins Davies is back on loan:-
