Following Tuesday night’s excellent 4-0 win against the Cards the Town chief will have the difficult task of deciding whether to stick of twist when his team visit the Bulls at the weekend.

Midfielder Alex Lawless missed out midweek with a back problem, target man Paul Benson and experienced defender Anthony Charles were not quite fit, and striker Alex Wall was serving the last match of a three-game ban.

However, all of them may be available for the trip to Edgar Street.

Speaking after Tuesday night’s win, Still revealed: “Alex Lawless, back problem. He got up this morning and his back was a problem so I don’t think either of those (Lawless and Benson) are anything to worry about.

“Could we have pushed Paul tonight? Maybe. But I’d sooner him be 100 per cent fit.”

And Still was buoyed by the options he now has available, adding: “Ain’t it good? I had no centre forwards last week and now hopefully we’ve got a few.

“Anthony Charles is getting fit, we had no centre-halves the other week.

“All of a sudden (Alex) Lacey’s back, Charlo will play in a game tomorrow at the training ground and the squad’s looking stronger, so I’m pleased with that.”
