Liam Murray ban a blow for AFC Telford
Wednesday 27th October 2010, 11:30AM BST.
AFC Telford United will have to break up their rock-solid defence for Saturday’s trip to Stalybridge Celtic – with centre-back Liam Murray suspended.
Ever-present Murray has been a key figure in the Bucks’ impressive back four that has conceded just four goals in the first 11 games of the Blue Square Bet North season.
But the 25-year-old, one of boss Andy Sinton’s first summer signings, must serve a one-game ban after accumulating five bookings.
Telford do at least have left-back Sean Newton available again, having recovered from the foot injury that kept him out of the 0-0 draw at Alfreton a week last Saturday.
And Sinton can also call on new signing Netan Sansara, the Walsall full-back having finally been registered to play.
“Our back four is the best in the league right now, the stats show that,” said Sinton.
“We’re losing Liam Murray this weekend and that’s a blow, but we have Newts back and fit again, and Stuart Whitehead did a good job at Alfreton.”
