SAM Bowen is out of Bromsgrove Rovers' Midland Alliance clash at Paget Rangers tomorrow (3pm).

The hotshot striker, who has scored 13 goals this season, injured himself in the warm-up against Barwell last week when Rovers surprisingly lost 3-0.

But Rovers boss Steve Daniels was philosophical about the shock defeat at the hands of mid-table Barwell.

"We just didn't play well," he said.

"We did OK for half an hour but I'm not going to go mad about it because we just taken 22 points from 24. We just need to bounce back tomorrow."

Stuart Payne and Michael Moore could start up front but Liam O'Neill, who made his first start last season, is also in contention for a starting place.

"They are all in contention but nobody knows who is playing until Saturday afternoon."

Moore, who was the subject of a seven-day bid by Redditch United, looks set to stay at the Victoria Ground after talking to Reds boss Rod Brown.
