NEWS FROM THE REC

Last updated : 30 September 2004 By Paul Fisher
So we have a new kid in town, Mark Stallard on loan from Barnsley for a month his wages being paid by a company called PRINTABILITY 2000 and we hope he can score some much needed goals for us as we are beginning to dry up in that department.
We welcome Bristol City to saltergate who are currently hovering just above the relegation spots but I would imagine not for long.
Last time out in the League they drew 3-3 with Huddersfield Town after being 3-1 down about 10 minutes to go, ex-spireite Chris Brandon scoring for the terriers.
Danny Wilson departed for the much-loved Brian Tinnion in the summer and he's having a tough start to his managerial career however City have made the purchase this week of Port Vale striker Stephen Brooker for around the £200000 mark.
The Last time we played City we got thumped 4-0 at Ashton Gate however three of the goals came in the last ten minutes as we were pushing for an equaliser, so could revenge be on the cards?
With the injury list currently Kevin Dawson, Caleb Folan and Derek Niven coupled with Mark Innes still under suspension the squad is a little weak you might say, however with the signature of Stallard he gives us more options up front but it's midfield where we are struggling as Hudson is still finding some match fitness and Gareth Davies being drafted in to cover, I expect Davies to start on saturday.
Up front I would assume it's going to be N'Toya and Allison with Debolla and Stallard on the bench, I'm going for Stallard on the bench because he only arrived today and won't have had chance to stamp his authority.

Roy Mcfarland is currently searching for a midfielder on loan as well early reports are it's a player from Liverpool but we shall wait and see.
