Ashley Grimes is pumped up and gearing up to grab three goals from our last 6 games starting with Gillingham on Saturday. That would put the 17-goal hit man on 20 since the start of a remarkable loan spell, which started at the end of October. He suffered no reaction after coming on as a half-time substitute during the defeat to Torquay and has trained all week.
Meanwhile midfielder Luke Howell could also return to the squad after a hamstring injury, but Mustapha Carayol is definately out even though scans reveal things are not as bad as first feared. He will be out for a couple of weeks with a hamstring pull.
Defender Stephen Hunt remains sidelined with ankle ligament damage and striker Delroy Facey is out for the season after undergoing shoulder surgery.
