Defeat to Yeovil at the weekend had Leroy Rosenior once more dissapointed with his sides youthful showing. Allowing the away side to score in the last minute Rosenior said was 'not good enough', but once more it was injuries which concerned the boss most.

Losing Jo Kuffour shortly after scoring at the weekend Leroy said,

"Jo's been playing with his bad back for a while so we're hoping to give him and a few otehr players a rest this week. We're going to use the next week to get players back like Framps and Oli who need some fitness work and then others will get some treatment."

Continuing the boss said,

"I can't recall ever having so many players out injured. Kevin's come into today and he's only 80% fit but he said he'd play and he's done that"

Commenting on the big match with Bristol City next week the boss said,

"Bristol next week is a big challenge. Obviously they've got a great budget, great supporters and a good manager in Gary Johnson who I've got a lot of respect for."
