Droylsden v Altrincham

Droylsden host fellow strugglers Altrincham in a crucial Blue Square Premier match on Saturday, but do so without Steve Daly.

Dave Pace will be without the influential striker who is suspended and midfielder James Tandy is out with a fractured foot.

The Bloods have battled this season and currently lie second from bottom, but are boosted by the return of Adam Dugdale.

Pace could also hand Karl Munroe and Greg Strong debut appearances.

Graham Heathcote cannot call upon his suspended defender Richard Battersby and Ryan Toulson remains on the injury list.

Darren Tinson and Liam King are both doubtful while loan signing Tom Cahill has recovered after from his hamstring problem.
