Team news: Hoult out for two months

Out: Hoult picked up a shoulder injury in training.
It has been announced that Russell Hoult will be out of action for two months because of a shoulder injury picked up in training on Tuesday.

As a result, last season's Player of the Year, Kevin Pilkington will don his gloves for the first time since the end of August.

Jamie Forrester will miss out on the chance to play against his former club after picking up a straight red card in the dying stages of last weekend's 2-0 defeat to Chester City.

Sean Canham and Delroy Facey will therefore be expected to continue their partnership in attack, whilst the diminutive front-man serves his three-match ban.

Richard Butcher (foot) and Adam Tann (knee) are both out through injury but Nathaniel Wedderburn could return from a knock to the knee.

Ian McParland has already shown that he is not afraid to omit integral members from the starting line-up, with Michael Edwards being dropped last week.

More of the same can be expected following another lacklustre performance which condemned the team to their 10th loss of the campaign.
