Bulls ready for the Fleet
Gravesend and Northfleet are the visitors to Edgar Street tomorrow afternoon. They hope to gain some revenge from the game ealier in the season that saw United defeat Gravesend 2-1 at Stonebridge Road. A repeat performance of their last visit to Hereford, which saw six goals shared equally among both side, would satisfy the Fleet who haven't won in their last ten outings.
Gravesend enjoyed a good start to the season that saw them well placed in the play offs at one stage, but their unbeaten streak was ended when the two sides met last September. Now, on the end of a long run without victory, Gravesend are placed in fifthteenth posistion with twenty six points.
Gravesend have a few injuries and suspensions that may hamper their team but the signing of attacker Craig McAllister from Stevenage will aid manager Andy Ford's selection problems. Emmanuel Omoyinmi is a doubt along with Ben Surey and Justin Skinner is missing due to suspension. Steve Portway may be in with a chance with playing and Mark Munday faces a late fitness test.
United have no suspensions, but do have a couple of doubts over the fitness of two or three players. Ryan Green has completed his rehabilitation course at Lilleshall but is unlikely to be fit enough to play the whole game so is a candidate for the bench. Lee Mills was injured at Scarborough with what it suspected to be slight ligament damage in his ankle so may not be risked by Graham Turner before the busy festive season. Tamika Mkandawire is expected to have recovered from the flu in time for the game, but Danny Williams is still struggling with a gash to his ankle that required stitches.
Three points will set the Bulls up nicely for a potentially crucial part of the season. Graham Turner will have to be careful, though, not to over play any of his squad as they face three games in six days over the Christmas period including two difficult ties against Exeter.
