TEAM NEWS
“Liam trained on Monday and he seems fine,” he said.
“We are still waiting to hear a bit more on Sam but Mitch has trained and that is a real positive.
“We’ve got players coming back to fitness but our problem is getting those players up to speed.
“I have had to play players through fitness and we are getting there but it always takes time.
“The schedule we’ve had over the last few weeks has been really hard, we knew it might be a bit stormy through this period but we are doing our best and the players are giving everything they can.”

Northampton Town won 2-1 away to Blackpool in the reverse fixture in November.
Kieron Bowie slotted into the bottom corner as the Cobblers opened the scoring on the half-an-hour mark.
Jordan Rhodes headed Kenny Dougall’s cross home to equalise for the Seasiders on the hour.
The hosts pushed forward in search of a winner, but it was the visitors who would snatch all three points late on when Sam Hoskins intercepted James Husband’s back-pass before finishing.
