Yate Town caretaker manager Dave Mogg has boosted his squad by signing former Bristol Rovers midfielder Ali Gibb on a month's loan from Bath City ahead of their game at Rugby Town.

Gibb needs games to recover his match fitness after breaking his ankle in a pre-season friendly, so Bath manager Adie Britton was prepared to let him go on loan.

Gibb will take over the midfield role vacated by the departure of player/coach Paul Chenoweth, who has quit Yate to sign for Hellenic League Almondsbury Town. It follows the sacking of manager Richard Thompson after nine-and-a-half years in charge.

Club skipper Lee Jefferies has also decided to leave and has joined Toolstation Premier Division side Brislington.

Yate striker Aaron Blakemore is still a target for Blue Square South Weston-super-Mare but the Lodge Road side insist they want a fee for the contracted player, who did not train this week.

Yate are also without suspended leading scorer Dean Griffiths as they battle to pull away from the relegation zone.

Yate Town (from): Woodhall, Vahid, Stanley, Brice, Metitiri, Metheringham, Wood, Gibb, Reid, Blakemore, Beadle, White, Hawkins, Matthews, Smythe.

Mangotsfield United are also battling relegation, but are without suspended striker Ryan Havard, who is on loan from Weston, for their home game against Brackley Town.

They are also missing midfielder Danny Barwood and Andy Criddle so manager Phil Bater has added Martyn Nicholls to his squad.

Mangotsfield United (from): Clapham, S Fitzpatrick, Arndale, Hendy, Bater, Wilmot, Hobbs, Page, Groves, Nicholls, J Fitzpatrick, Bennett, Taylor, Tippins.

Gloucester City face a difficult game at Halesowen Town without Lee Smith, who is serving a one-match ban.

Manager David Mehew's side is strengthened by the return of Mark Richards and Luke Ballinger, who both missed the last game at Chippenham Town.

Gloucester City (from): Sawyer, Mustoe, Marshall, Hamblin, Smith, J Harris, Rose, Sykes, Pitcher, Richards, Ballinger, Twyford, James, Webb, A Harris.

Bottom-of-the-table Clevedon Town travel to leaders Farnborough Town without the suspended Josh Brigham.

Manager Nick Tucker, who has only lost one game in four since he took over, is approaching the game with confidence.

He said "We will be giving them a lost of respect but we have built up a lot of confidence in the way we have played in the four games since I took over."

Clevedon Town (from): Greaves, Heal, Peckham, Bassett, Loxton, Sheppard, Billing, Harris, Else, Adams, Hughes, Collins, Kift, Haigato, Walsh, Molyneaux, Small, Evans.

Chippenham Town have been hit by injuries and suspensions and are missing six players for their home game against third-placed Merthyr Tydfil.

Ruled out by suspension are Kye Holly, Kev Halliday, Ashley Williams. Luke Gillick (hamstring), Sam Allison (calf), and Ian Harvey (foot) are injured. Midfielder Alex Kite has returned to Bristol Rovers as his three-month loan spell has ended.

Chippenham Town (from): Snoddy, Adams, Casey, Lamb, Martin, Lye, Seaville, Pratt, Sercombe, Powell, Gardner, Bryan, Kemp, Mings.

Swindon Supermarine's home game against Cambridge City is in doubt as there was still a heavy covering of snow on the pitch yesterday.

There will be 10am pitch inspection.

Defender Enoch Boetang returns to the squad after a three-and-a-half month spell out injured, while midfielder Gary Horgan returns after suspension. Chris Taylor faces a late fitness test on a hip injury but Danny Allen is ruled out with an ankle problem.

Swindon Supermarine (from): Bullman, Boetang, Cook, Draycott, Edenborough, Griffin, Harris, henry, Hopper, Horgan, Howell, Lapham, McKay, Stanley, Taylor, Wood.
