Burgess Hoping To Make Debut

Last updated : 05 April 2003 By Andy Beill
With Jamie Forrester likely to be out for the season with an ankle injury, Peter Taylor will have to choose a partner for striker Jon Walters. Jevons impressed after replacing the injured Forrester against Shrewsbury a fortnight ago, but faces competition for a starting place from Ben Burgess, who has joined in a £100,000 move from Stockport.

Justin Whittle is still suspended after being sent off at Rushden & Diamonds last month, so, other than the replacement of Forrester, Taylor is expected to field the same side that defeated Shrewsbury.

Richie Appleby could be back after struggling with an ankle injury, and is expected to be named amongst the substitutes.

Expected line-up (4-4-2): Fettis; Otsemobor, Joseph, Anderson, Delaney; Reeves, Melton, Keates, Elliott; Walters, Burgess.
Subs: Musselwhite, Burton, Regan, Appleby, Jevons.
