This is Grimsby

Forest Green manager Dave Hockaday has Al Bangura available for selection ahead of Grimsby's trip to the New Lawn.

The former Watford midfielder has missed his side's last five games through suspension following his sending off against Luton, and is expected to return to the squad on Tuesday.

Midfielder Kieron Forbes returned to the starting XI at the weekend following a spell on the sidelines and is likely to retain his place in the side, despite being replaced after 45 minutes.

Hockaday could also stick with centre-back Aarran Racine, who impressed during his return from injury on Saturday.

Striker Reece Styche and midfielder Stephen Brogan will definitely miss out, while defender Dale Bennett and midfielder Jamie Collins are likely to be missing.

Grimsby's management team of Paul Hurst and Rob Scott will be without Shaun Pearson.

The defender, 23, is recovering from a recent knee injury and will not be ready in time to face the Green.

The game looks to have come too soon for striker Liam Hearn, who has been sidelined since August 14 with a serious Achilles injury.

The forward recently returned to light training but is some way off being ready for first-team action.

Tom Naylor is in contention to make his first start for the club since arriving on loan from Derby.

The former Mansfield youngster came on in the 78th minute of his side's 3-1 win over Ebbsfleet and is now vying for a place in the starting XI.
