Scarborough manager Russell Slade has injury worries as his side look for their fourth successive win at home to Woking.

It will be the first chance for the Seasiders to get the double over a side this season, as the team won 2-1 in Surrey at the start of September.

Neil Mann failed to make his debut in the win over Doncaster in midweek because of a hamstring injury and Slade is frustrated with the fact that although Mann never kicked a ball for the team, the FA will not quash the loan deal.

"It leaves me with problem I have had all along about balance on the left side and it is worse because Scott Jordan limped off midweek and he is very doubtful as well."

Dene Shields and Karl Rose are carrying knocks, so Slade is likely have to change his side.

"It will give others a chance to stake a claim for a first team spot, but I have been stressing all along to the lads that we are dealing with a 16 man squad here and we are all in it together."

Another problem is the absence of 'keeper Mark Smith with a hamstring injury leaving Boro without a sub 'keeper for the last two games.

Boro (probable): Woods, Blunt, Rennison, Shepherd, Hotte, Jordan. Stoker, Patterson, Pounder, Connell, Stamp. Subs from: Jones, Rose, Baker, Keegan, Faure, Windross.
