Match Preview
Robins looking strong for cup clash Cheltenham have virtually a full-strength squad for their FA Cup tie against Morecambe, presenting manager Mark Yates with a welcome selection headache. All three loan players Marlon Pack, Robin Shroot and Shaun Jeffers have been given permission to play by their respective parent clubs, Portsmouth, Birmingham and Coventry. Leading scorer Wes Thomas returned to training on Thursday after his absence nursing a thigh injury, although he is unlikely to start against the Shrimps. Defenders Danny Andrew (ankle) and Steve Elliott (calf) are both fully fit and in contention, leaving just captain Michael Pook (calf) on the sidelines for around another week. Yates kept faith with the same XI for Tuesday`s clash against Southend as the one which triumphed 4-2 at Accrington last weekend, and the Robins boss was delighted with the way his side performed up until the encounter was abandoned in the 66th minute due to floodlight failure. Whether he goes with the same line-up again or tweaks things around remains to be seen. Morecambe boss Sammy McIlroy will be reluctant to make any changes. The Shrimps destroyed Stockport 5-0 in midweek and are now boosted the availability of Andy Parrish. The defender was sent off in last weekend`s defeat at Torquay along with midfielder Chris Shuker. While Parrish now returns after a one-match ban, Shuker has two further games to serve as part of his three-match suspension. Defensive duo Paul Scott and Will Haining could miss out again through injury but striker Phil Jevons will again lead the line after claiming a superb hat-trick against Stockport. They were his first goals since August after a frustrating spell caused by injury.

Match Report
Thomas sends Robins through Top scorer Wes Thomas returned from a month-long absence to fire the Robins into the second round of the FA Cup with a 1-0 win over Morecambe. The striker came off the bench to net his eighth goal of the season with a low shot into the corner in the 80th minute after a neat pass by Jeff Goulding. It was tough luck on Morecambe keeper Barry Roche who was the star of the show in the first half with a string of saves. Roche denied Marlon Pack and Josh Low in quick succession and was relieved to see Robin Shroot's low cross escape the lunging boot of Brian Smikle. Another rasping drive by Pack was kept out by Roche's knee while at the other end Phil Jevons missed a gilt-edged header from six yards after 25 minutes. After the break Robins keeper Scott Brown rescued his defence, who were caught napping by a quick free kick, to save at the feet of Mark Duffy. Robins midfielder David Bird produced two great blocks to keep out the Shrimps including a vital one from Paul Mullin. Brown also clawed out a deflected Phil Jevons cross which was looping into the far corner.
