Skinner back for Fleet

SKINNER: role at Morecambe
SKINNER: role at Morecambe

JUSTIN SKINNER is set for a recall as replacement for the suspended Matt Rouse as Gravesend & Northfleet seek their first Nationwide Conference win on Saturday at Morecambe.

Left-back Rouse, who became the third Fleet player to be ordered off this season during Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Canvey, will serve his suspension while on holiday in the Mediterranean.

Midfielder Jimmy Jackson may also return to the starting line-up after being named among Tuesday's substitutes.

"I believe we can take heart from the draw at Canvey because there were a lot of good performances from our players," said Ford. "Not a lot of teams will get much from them at home this season so we go to Morecambe in a confident mood."

Ford and his players head for the North West buoyed by the fact that they have not lost on the road since December.

Gravesend: Wilkerson; (from) Gledhill, Porter, Moore, Skinner; Drury, Saunders, McKimm, Surey, Jackson; Essandoh, Omoyinmi, Mitten, Protheroe, Shearer, Pinnock.
