TOMORROW'S visitors to Gigg Lane, Wrexham, got the season off to a miserable start last Saturday with a 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Danny Wilson's Bristol City.

Goals from Tony Thorpe and Paul Holland put the skids under the Robins who were sickened as early as the first minute when their new striker from Trinidad and Tobago, Hector Sam, had a goal disallowed.

They welcome back Sam's fellow countryman, midfielder Carlos Edwards tomorrow after he missed last weekend's game due to international duty.

Former Shaker Bryan Flynn has doubts about new signing from Aston Villa Michael Blackwood. The left winger may need knee surgery after colliding with teammate Craig Faulconbridge in the Bristol game.

Long serving left back Phil Hardy got in some reserve team action during the week and could be recalled to the first team after missing out on the opening day.

The Shakers will be keen to put one over another team who did the double over them last season after a similar revenge mission against Cambridge last week.

The Robins defeated the Shakers 1-0 at the Racecourse in August last year then ended a run of 16 games without a victory with a 2-0 victory at Gigg in January.
