REDS player-boss Nicky Cross has another defensive headache for the visit of Cirencester Town tomorrow.

With injuries and suspensions preventing Cross from finding a settled central defensive partnership he will have to chop and change again.

Paul West (ankle) and captain Nigel Niblett (back and knee) are both ruled out and could miss Tuesday's derby at Evesham.

Fit-again Mark Creighton, Steve Frost and Tommy Byrne are vying for the positions with Byrne, yet to play a game this season, likely to be edged out.

And player of the week Scott Colcombe is a doubt after injuring his ankle scoring the FA Cup winner against Gresley on Tuesday.
