Yates ponders changes

18 February 2011 13:30
Mark Yates is likely to tinker with his Cheltenham side for the visit of Barnet although wholesale changes are unlikely. Town failed to show up as they were brushed aside 3-0 by Hereford last weekend and Yates is predicting a positive reply from his charges as the struggling Bees come to town. But, speaking on Thursday, he said: "I`ve had a good reaction from everybody and I`ll pick a team I think can handle a little bit of pressure and the circumstances we find ourselves in. Just because nobody came out of the game with any credit last weekend doesn`t mean I`ll be making 11 changes." Wide man Brian Smikle came off at half-time against the Bulls complaining of dizziness and headaches but is expected to be okay. Winger Josh Low (hamstring) was poised to return to the fold last weekend but is still not 100%, while a late decision will be made on defender Andy Gallinagh, who has trained all week following his double hernia operation.
