Young contemplates changes

By Tim Channon on Feb 8, 10 04:11 PM

COLWYN BAY will go level on points with Lancaster City at the top of the Unibond Division One North table if they can make it four league wins in a row away to Woodley Sports on Tuesday (7.45pm).
And manager Neil Young is contemplating one or two changes for the game on Woodley's 3G pitch.
"Some players are little more suited to playing on astroturf than others," he said.
"There were also some tired legs after playing with 10 men for the whole of the second half at Bamber Bridge last Saturday and we will need to check how everybody is feeling before deciding on the team."
That could possibly mean Russell Headley, who is a former Woodley player, being involved at some stage on a surface he knows well.
Woodley may be seventh from bottom after losing 3-1 away to Harrogate Railway last weekend, but they have won their last five home games on the Neil Rourke Stadium's 3G pitch, including a 4-1 victory over league leaders Lancaster and a Cheshire Cup success against Conference side Vauxhall Motors.
Colwyn Bay suffered a 1-0 defeat there last season in their only defeat in a run of 15 games that lifted them into the play-off places, but Young commented: "We have a better squad now than we did then with technically better players and that is what you need on that surface."
Young striker Alex Titchiner, who has scored in each of Bay's last three games, is fit to play after having treatment on an ankle injury that forced his substitution last Saturday, and Crewe Alexandra have also agreed to extend his loan period to the Seagulls for a further month.
Tom McGill returns to the squad after work commitments, but Neil Black and Danny Grannon are both unavailable again.
Colwyn Bay: (from) Sanna, Denson, Lynch, Meadowcroft, Challinor, Sheehan, Sheridan, Kelly, Titchiner, Stones, Williams, Brandreth, Ablett, Olsen, Headley, McGill, Graves.
Neil Young also reports that Jamie Dunn is rejoining the squad after completing his university studies and he will be back in training on Thursday.
