Forest Green boss Cooper faces selection dilemma
Posted Friday, August 30, 2019 by PA
Forest Green boss Mark Cooper faces some potentially tough selection calls ahead of hosting Sky Bet League Two rivals Newport.
The Gloucestershire club produced an outstanding display against Carabao Cup opponents Bournemouth on Wednesday before bowing out on penalties.
Cooper made five changes for that game, and he could opt for a similar starting line-up this weekend.
Defender Liam Shepherd is likely to be an injury absentee, while Cooper is certain to consider the claims of ex-Newport players Aaron Collins and Shawn McCoulsky.
Newport, unbeaten after five league games and one point behind Forest Green in fifth place, could receive a triple boost for the short trip to Gloucestershire.
County boss Michael Flynn could welcome back Joss Labadie, George Nurse and Jamille Matt.
All three players missed the midweek Carabao Cup defeat against West Ham, with Labadie sidelined due to hamstring trouble, Nurse suffering from an ankle injury and Matt out because of a knee issue.
Ade Azeez (Achilles) and Mickey Demetriou (broken leg), meanwhile, remain long-term absentees.
