Nardiello set for Shakers debut

Boss Alan Knill will give fellow frontman Ryan Lowe a late fitness test after the summer signing from Chester sustained a knee injury during Tuesday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat at Accrington. Andy Morrell came on to replace Lowe up front on Tuesday night and is also pushing for a starting role. Andy Bishop, Danny Carlton, David Worrall and Damien Allen remain sidelined but defender Efe Sodje will return after sitting out Tuesday's game through suspension. Knill said: "We are putting square pegs in round holes."
