DAN Jones and Mitch Counsell are in line for starting roles in Worcester City's FA Trophy clash with Margate tomorrow.

Manager John Barton has several suspension and injury worries ahead of the fourth round tie and will delay picking his team until shortly before kick-off at St George's Lane (3pm).

But Counsell is expected to make his home debut, replacing the suspended Jon Holloway in midfield, while Jones is also tipped to feature.

Darren Middleton is nursing a groin strain and defender Mark Blount twisted his ankle early in the game at Moor Green last weekend.

Stewart Hadley picked up an abductor muscle strain in the mid-week county cup match at Halesowen but is expected to be named in the squad along with Mark Shail and Marc Burrow.

Goalkeeper Paul Wyatt is struggling with a virus and Shaun Hayes is standing by to take his place on the bench.

Barton is expected to make tactical changes to compensate for the loss of the suspended Holloway and Adam Wilde but remains upbeat about City's chances against their Conference visitors.

"We are not in an ideal situation but there is enough ability in the squad to get us through."
