Team News Vs Brentford

Last updated : 27 February 2004 By Richard Brown

Gary Mills has got his back very much against the wall going into tomorrow’s relegation dog-fight with Brentford, as a lack of personnel at the back after the return of Paul Boertien to Derby after the Rams themselves found themselves short at the back - a shortage which has caused a knock-on effect.

In sharp contrast, Simon Baldry looks ready to return to the first-team frame for the first time under Gary Mills, having not played since the last game of the Bill Dearden era - a 5-2 walloping against Peterborough.

Baldry came through ninety minutes of action in the reserves in mid-week in which, despite a composed performance on the part of Balders, he was on the losing side as they slumped to a 3-0 defeat.

Elsewhere, Stuart Garden will again deputise between the sticks for the injured Steve Mildenhall after undergoing surgery to fix a recurrence of an injury to a tendon injury in his right hand.
