Here's a breakdown where the players are

Alexander, Weston, Barker, Gabbidon, Croft, Kavanagh, Whalley, Legg, Campbell, Thorne, Leo FW, Margetson, Hamilton, Maxwell, Collins and Earnshaw.

Above 16 players were on duty against Port Vale.

Spencer Prior and Willie Boland were both suspended for that game. Prior can now return but Boland must miss two more games.

Scott Young is injured and will be out for at least 3 more games. Mark Bonner is injured and will be out until at least October. David Hughes is injured and has had a cartlidge operation so will be out for a while. Andrew Jordan is long term injured. There is better news for Jason Bowen. He is due to make a playing return for the reserves next Wednesday.

Martyn Giles is leaving on loan for Cwmbran Town while Michael Simpkins is hoping to complete a move to Plymouth Argyle.

That leaves Gavin Gordon, Mark Walton, Gethin Jones and Kevin Evans. The three outfield players were in the reserve team yesterday. Mark Walton I assume is ready if needed.

Ceri Hughes and Ryan Green are both on short term contracts but have no squad numbers.
