Gannon: Players Returning For Avenue Clash

County find themselves ninth in the Vanarama National League with ten points on the board from their opening seven games, writes Tom Feaheny.

Speaking to the club's website Gannon said ahead of their home match against Bradford Park Avenue with more of the squad set to be available.

"I think we will have a few players available for Saturday who could not play on Monday they include Jason Oswell, Stephen O'Halloran Harry Winter

"There are some who have filled in who hope to stay in due to their reputation from other seasons and elsewhere but they need to be in due to hard work."

One of the positives that was taken from their loss against Tamworth on Bank Holiday Monday was Sam Minihan goal for the side, Gannon said.

"I was pleased for Sam who got the goal, you are asking an ex full-back to play, he is starting to add assists to his game and that is a positive."

He admitted that the defeat disappointed him.

"I think the game was very tight for long periods, we just lacked that touch of quality in the final third, we made mistakes at the back

"It was difficult because of the formation they played, their seemed to be a lack of leadership along some parts of the pitch, we didn't seem to know how break them down in the final third."
