McMahon gets early call-up
NEW signing Joe McMahon gets an early call-up for Colwyn Bay's home game against Burscough at Llanelian Road on Tuesday (7.45pm).
The centre-back, who was only signed from Marine last Friday, comes in for Danny Grannon who has been sidelined with a pulled hamstring.
That's a big blow as Danny has been outstanding for the Seagulls this season.
There is also a big doubt over keeper Chris Sanna with an ankle injury.
"Chris was quite sore yesterday, but we'll leave it as late as possible and if we think we can get away with strapping the ankle up then we will," reported player-manager Dave Challinor.
Otherwise reserve keeper Andy Metcalf will come in for his first game of the season.
Shell-shocked Colwyn Bay are trying to recover from last Saturday's embarrassing 6-0 home defeat to Northwich Victoria which ended their eight-match unbeaten run.
Challinor is also concerned that the Bay, while unbeaten away from home, have won only one of their five home games in the league this season.
"We have struggled to pick up points at Llanelian Road and we are looking at possibly changing the way we play at home to try and put that right," he said.
Burscough are also looking to recover from a heavy defeat last Saturday, when they lost 5-0 at Chasetown.
That was their fourth defeat in their last six games and they have failed to score in seven of their 12 league and FA Cup games so far. But they are only one point behind Colwyn Bay in the table, having played a game more, and know that a win on Tuesday would lift them above the Seagulls and back into the top 10.
Colwyn Bay (from) Sanna or Metcalf, Denson, Lea, Challinor, McMahon, McLachlan, Evans, Allen, Noon, Newby, McGraa, Sheridan, Sheehan, Davey, O'Sullivan, Titchiner, Bailey.
