Jim Barron

Curtis Fleming and Hayden Mullins could make their comebacks for the reserves in their opening match of the season at Peterborough United, on Wednesday afternoon.

Fleming is getting back to full fitness after suffering a setback on his knee injury, while Mullins has recovered from a hernia operation.

Transfer-listed Danny Granville and Ade Akinbiyi should also be in the starting line-up.

Jim Barron's side have had a mixed pre-season. They started off well with a 5-0 win over Wealdstone at the end of July. Gareth Williams, Tariq Nabil, Clarke, Tom Soares and Karem Bashkal netted.

Defeats away to Fulham (1-0) and Dover (4-0) followed before Bashkal and Ben Surey scored the goals in a 2-1 victory at Hastings.

Last week, they beat Wessex Jewson leaguers Bemerton Heath Harlequins 3-1 - midfielder Soares got all three goals.
