Margy muses midfield make-up

Midfielders Richard Battersby and Chris Ovington are doubtful ahead of FC United’s Sunday afternoon clash with Matlock but Steve Torpey may make his first competitive start since returning to the club.

Battersby and Ovington face a race against time to be fit after both missing the defeat at Ashton United on Bank Holiday Monday whilst striker Ben Deegan is expected to be out for another week.

Manager Karl Marginson has several options in the middle of the park with Torpey, Simon Carden, Nicky Platt and Karl Munroe all hoping to get games.

Possibly Margy’s biggest dilemma is whether to recall Sam Ashton.The 23-year-old goalkeeper has captained the side this season due to the absence of David Chadwick but Zach Hibbert was selected on Monday.

United will be looking to keep the pressure on league leaders Ashton by making it four wins out of five. Get yourself to that football ground.
