Fresh off the excellent 3-0 win at Darlington, Alty return home for the visit of Guiseley on Bank Holiday Monday. Two goals from Jordan Hulme and a penalty from John Johnston saw Phil Parkinson’s men bounce back from the two losses last week and get back on the winning trail.

John Johnston’s participation is in doubt after he picked up a knock at Darlington so there may be enforced changes as the condition of all the players will be assessed with the quick turnaround in matches.

Ben Harrison, Simon Richman and Tom Peers are all carrying knocks, but on the positive side, James Poole is expected to feature in the squad for the first time since recovering from his knee injury. Brendon Daniels will be available as his loan deal does not expire until September 1st.

Guiseley picked up their first win of the season on Saturday in a 2-1 at home against Nuneaton. After losing their first two matches, they are now riding a four-match unbeaten run with some solid draws against Telford, Stockport and Leamington prior to the weekend win.

The character in the squad has been clear to see as they managed a 89th minute equaliser against Leamington while they came back from a goal down on Saturday and claimed a 94th minute winner. They come to The J.Davidson Stadium full of confidence and will provide another tough test for the Robins.
