WITH Mel Pejic away on international duty with the Wales squad, ahead of their upcoming double header, the players have been left in the good hands of Dave Massey, a physio from the Stoke area, who has been helping out at Colliers Park on a regular basis.

As usual the treatment room at training ground has been busy, but happily no new problems to report..

Nat Brown, who missed Tuesday night's match with a virus after feeling unwell at Forest Green over the weekend, is back now in training.

Simon Spender, complete with cast on his arm after dislocating his elbow, called in and is starting the long road to recovery. He could well be absent for several months yet though.

Kyle Critchell's recover from his ankle injrury has not been a quick as hoped for and he will now require an operation. The Wales U21 international was due to undergo this procedure over the last few days, but due to him suffering from a virus, it has had to be delayed.

Our other long term patient is Gareth Evans, with the centre half also suffering from an ankle problem. He went for a scan early this week and is now waiting on those results, to see if the normal healing process is taking its course or if more help is needed!
