His suspension leaves manager John Schofield with limited options up-front, with Jamie Forrester and loan man Spencer-Weir Daley likely to start as his only senior strikers.
Schofield, however, is insistent that he will have no reservations in turning to youngsters Leon Mettam and Owain Warlow for cover for the suspended front-man.
“Whoever plays up front for us against Bury will do well because we will create the chances to give us that extra edge,” said Schofield, speaking to the Lincolnshire Echo earlier today.
“There are players who could do a job in the absence of Mark - young Owain Warlow and Leon Mettam can play up front and Nat Brown is another one to consider.
After allowing Martin Gritton, Danny Bacon (both on-loan) and Gary Birch (released) to leave Sincil Bank, the news of Stallard's suspension could well rouse Schofield into improving the fortunes of his so-far fruitless attempts in bolstering his squad.
News from the club today speaks of four offers having been placed with various clubs, with two believed to be short-term deals for the unnamed quartet.
