JOINT Grimsby Town bosses Paul Hurst and Rob Scott will again be forced into team changes when they return to FA Trophy action at Bath City tomorrow (3pm).

Four members of the Town squad are cup-tied – including deadline-day signing Louie Soares.

And there are also slight doubts over the fitness of skipper Craig Disley (ankle), who sat out the previous round triumph over AFC Hornchurch, and Bradley Wood, pictured, who also has an ankle problem that has kept him out recently.

Hurst is hopeful the captain will be okay to play, and with Ian Miller the only new face starting in the last few games, it may mean just one enforced change at the back with last-round scorer Shaun Pearson favourite to step in.

Hurst said: "I think Bradley would have gone on the bench or even started for us last week if we had chosen to do that.

"But he's had a knock on his ankle and didn't play in the friendly at Scunthorpe either so we will wait and see how he is.

"He's a tough lad but at the same time, if he plays and then struggles it doesn't work.

"You want players who are up for it but we don't want anything to cost the team.

"Other than Bradley, Dis just felt his ankle a little bit again last week but we are hoping he will be okay.

"In an ideal world, everyone would be available like Louie.

"But we knew he was cup-tied when we signed him. It didn't affect our decision to bring him in for the rest of the season, and next.

"It does take us down to the bare minimum in terms of the squad but fortunately we haven't got many injuries at present."

Whoever the bosses pick, Hurst is hoping Town can get the job done in the south west at the first attempt and avoid a replay forcing another postponement of Tuesday's Tamworth league fixture.

He added: "We want to get the job done down there.

"If it does end up as a replay then so be it, it will mean we are still in the competition.

"But we won't be playing for a replay."
