Player/Manager Rob Newman will again stick to his policy of naming the side just before the kick-off for Tuesday night’s game at the Shay against relegation threatened Halifax Town, Newman has named an eighteen man squad.
Blues squad: Darryl Flahavan, Daniel Gay, Stephen Broad, Damon Searle, Danny Kerrigan, Leon Cort, Phil Whelan, Rob Newman, Steven Clark, Kevin Maher, Leon Johnson, Stuart Thurgood, Carl Hutchings, Scott Forbes, Barrington Belgrave, Tes Bramble, Mark Rawle and Tony Richards.
It is expected that Rob Newman will keep to the 4-4-2 system that the players look more comfortable with. Kevin Maher who returned after suspension against Torquay United on Saturday will continue alongside Carl Hutchings in the middle of the park.
Stuart Thurgood looks likely to start on the bench to allow fit
again Steven Clark who completed his signing from West Ham United on Friday to start on the right wing, Mark Rawle will continue of the left flank while Scott Forbes who came through ninety minutes for the reserves against Colchester United on Monday afternoon looks booked for a place on the bench.. 
Upfront Barrington Belgrave will partner ten goal leading goal scorer Tes Bramble, while the defence will be the usual five of Darryl Flahavan, Stephen Broad, Damon Searle, Leon Cort and Skipper Phil Whelan.
Probable side: Flahavan, Broad, Searle, Whelan, Cort, Clark, Maher, Hutchings, Rawle, Belgrave and Bramble.
Subs: Gay, Forbes, Thurgood, Johnson and Richards.
Meanwhile Formes Blues boss Alan Little remains in charge of Halifax Town despite rumours that he left the club over the weekend following the 4-0 defeat at Scunthorpe.
Little's decision not to face the media following the latest reverse fuelled speculation that he had either resigned or been sacked. But he took training on Sunday a session called by chairman Bob Walker, who was very unhappy with Saturday's display. Little's job now is to turn things round in time for two difficult home games in five days. Town entertain Southend United in a rearranged game on Tuesday night and Hull City on Saturday, with both opponents having promotion aspirations.
Picture: Little still in the Shaymen hot-seat
