Grayson is waiting on the fitness of left-back Andy Wilkinson who was injured in the Boxing Day game, Wilkinson was replaced by Vincent Fernandez early in the second half and Fernandez is ready to step in again if Wilkinson doesn`t make it.
Also a doubt is David Fox who has been feeling under the weather but he should play along side midfield partner Keith Southern who seems to have fully recovered from an ankle knock.

The lad continues to impress but with a match suspension coming up Parker is going to have to prove that he deserves a starting place with Scott Vernon and Ben Burgess looking to take over from the Scott when he sits out the F.A. Cup tie in the New Year.

Heffernan is most certainly the Donny man in form. We have ben warned!
Let PHT’s mate take him out. It’s going to be a close one. Won’t be over disappointed if it’s a draw, hoping we can get a win.

Be aware of the tactical genius of Sean O’Driscoll. This could put a slight diversion in your current good form!
