Defender Joe Widdowson and striker John-Louis Akpa Akpro are slight doubts for Grimsby ahead of Tuesday's League Two visit of Chesterfield.

Both players sustained knocks during the crucial 1-0 win over Hereford on Saturday but Mariners manager Neil Woods thinks they should be fit.

An Achilles problem ruled out Lee Peacock at Edgar Street and the forward is again struggling.

Woods has options should he wish to make changes. Defenders Jude Stirling and Paul Linwood, midfielders Peter Sweeney and Michael Leary, and forwards Adrian Forbes and Adam Proudlock will all be hoping for recalls to the starting line-up.

Ahead of the game, Woods said: "Obviously it is another big game - they are all big games - but it leads us to the even bigger game, which is Torquay on Saturday.

"That would put us in a position to actually affect one of the clubs around us, but first and foremost we have got to concentrate on Chesterfield. We

have got a lot of belief, the players have always had that, so we will go and try to win another game on Tuesday night."
