Yeovil Town will set off tomorrow (Friday) for the long trek north and their Nationwide League Division Three fixture at Carlisle United (writes Steve Sowden).

The Glovers, who will be gunning for victory to maintain their promotion bid, will be without suspended Gavin Williams and Adam Lockwood.

But they will have Jake Edwards and Colin Pluck back in the squad following their suspensions.

And with Carlisle languishing at the foot of the table, despite a recent mini revival, the Yeovil supporters travelling north will be expecting a victory.

Assistant manager Steve Thompson said: "On paper you would think Yeovil should win, but Carlisle have been in some good form of late until they lost last weekend. They are desperate for points, so it is going to be difficult."

And Thompson said: "We have got two back in and two out which is a shame because Gavin Williams has been playing well recently."

Thompson added that there were hopes that long-term injury victim Roy O'Brien could be back playing before the end of the season.

Defender O'Brien, who has been sidelined since October, was worried that his season could be over.

But Thompson said: "Roy could be back playing before the end of the season.

"He's got to go and see a specialist and if all is well he could start light training again within three weeks."

Thompson added that striker-come-defender Chris Giles was still at Huish Park despite news about Dr Martens League side Dorchester Town being interested in his services.

But Thompson said: "Chris Giles is still at Huish Park, but we are looking at getting him out on loan because he hasn't had much football this season.

"There was a possibility of him going to Belgium, but he would have to go for six months which just wouldn't be practical especially with his contract running out at the end of the season."
