Town Pair Suspended

JUSTIN Whittle and Stacy Coldicott will both miss Saturday's match with Shrewsbury after totting up five bookings during the weekend's 3-0 defeat at Bristol Rovers. Whittle's absence paves the way for Tony Crane to make his first appearance of the season since coming back from a long-term injury.

Crane will get his chance as Rob Jones, who came off at the Memorial Stadium with a back problem, is a doubtful for the visit of the Shrews.

Coldicott's absence should see Terry Fleming return to the centre of midfield alongside Thomas Pinault. Jason Crowe should be fit in time for the game after an ankle problem, and will probably slot in on the right side of midfield where Fleming has played for the last two games. Left-sided defender Ronnie Bull is also set to return after completing a three-match ban.

The club have announced that admission to the Shrewsbury game is free to children accompanied by an adult in all stands.
