Reasons to be cheerful...
Posted on: Fri 14 Nov 2008
Marc Laird, Tresor Kandol and Gary Alexander are all back in contention for Saturday's top of the table encounter with Stockport County.
Laird (pictured below) hobbled off at Brighton a fortnight ago with a hamstring strain but has trained this week and is vying for a place in midfield. Kandol returns after being ineligible for last Saturday's FA Cup tie at Chester City whilst Alexander has been out for a month with an ankle injury.
Kenny Jackett has a wealth of attacking options with five forwards available and again there will be disappointed players when the squad list is pinned up.
"I'm pleased to say that the players who are not in the side at the moment are doing well in the reserves, showing a good attitude and putting players in the side under pressure," the manager observed.
"It's no coincidence that the reserves and youth team are doing well at the moment as well. To be successful you have to have a strong squad committed to the cause, and once again the substitutes could be key factors on Saturday."
Meanwhile Stockport County boss Jim Gannon has no real injury worries, and whilst none of his players are household names, he has made a virtue of forging a close knit squad with a sense of purpose.
They will view a visit to Millwall as another big game and are playing with a nothing to lose attitude, which is why they rarely do on their travels.
