Iron team news

Iron boss Hill has confirmed Owen Foster will still need time to get back up to speed following his return from a recent stomach bug. The teenage shot-stopper has been out of action since pre-season but is now back training following his recent bout of illness.

Elsewhere, defender Kgosi Nthle has returned to the pitch, featuring for the first time this season against Woking as a substitute in midweek. The 28-year-old will be bidding for his first start ahead of our clash with Neal Ardley’s side this weekend.

Jordan Hallam is still set to be sidelined, as he continues his recovery from a recent hamstring strain. 

The opposition

Soilhull come into Saturday’s meeting having picked up five points from their opening three games this season. Beginning the campaign with a 4-1 away victory at Aldershot Town, the Moors have since drawn back-to-back games with Southend United and York City, both ending 1-1. 

Andrew Dallas has found the net twice already for his side, with the 23-year-old one the Iron will have to keep tabs this Saturday.
