PADIHAM boss Steve Wilkes is cursing his side's injury nightmare as his side seeks revenge at Bootle tomorrow.

The Storks could be without striker David Holt after he pulled a calf muscle in last week's defeat to Ashton Athletic.

But they need all the players at their disposal against high-flying Bootle, who booted Padiham out of the FA Vase earlier this season.

"I've never known a season like this with injuries," said Wilkes.

"In 19 games, we've had 16 injuries in the first-half of those games. It's incredible."

Meanwhile, midfielder Martin Broderick has left to join Colne.
