Harrogate Town midfielder Lee Philpott is the biggest doubt for their return to Nationwide North at Hednesford Town tomorrow.

The veteran performer came off after 100 minutes of Tuesday night's epic FA Cup first round replay suffering with cramp, and has also picked up a nasty gash on an ankle that could be enough to sideline him for the league fixture.

But despite a few tired legs in the camp, manager Neil Aspin says he will not be looking to change the squad around for the sake of it.

He said: "We will pick the strongest team as we can and then if anyone looks like they're struggling a bit, I will look at changing things.

"I don't want to be resting people because it's a game that we need to win.

"They came off the back of a heavy defeat to Worcester, changed their formation and got a good draw against Kettering, so we will expect that they play with a similar line-up.

"It will be a hard game because there's no easy games in this league and if you drop your standards, you can lose to anybody."

Aspin is also hoping there will be no mental after-effects from Tuesday's defeat.

He said: "It was a big disappointment to lose on penalties but you can't replay the game over again.

"I'm expecting a positive performance tomorrow and if there is not, we will have to make changes.

"The cup run has been really good with all the publicity. It would be a shame to let it slip back in the league."

Anton Lally and Ben Jones are again available after being cup-tied.
