Bowles up for the cup
The defender has missed the last three fixtures due to flu but could be involved in this evening's clash. Manager Shaun Brooks said: "On Saturday Gary looked off colour and a bit peaky but he has trained since and he should be okay for 60 minutes or so." The Magpies reached the last eight of the competition after beating Dorset Premier League outfit Blandford United 4-0, for which Brooks made several changes and called up five members of the Dorchester Under-18 squad. However, suspensions and injuries could force the county town boss into fewer alterations this time out. He added: "Bridport are a lot closer to us than Blandford in terms of ability and we've got Jamie Gleeson and Danny Clay suspended as well as four players out injured, those being Jake Smeeton, Roy O'Brien, Wes Fogden and Ivan Forbes. "We're not going to load up on Under-18s though. We'll have a look at things but it'll only be a slightly different team to the one on Saturday. "Ryan Moss is suspended for Saturday's trip to Havant and because we have no chance of getting anyone into the club we might have to look at one or two things tonight in order to give us that bit of presence up front." The Magpies have scored just three goals in their last five outings and Brooks is calling on his players to vastly improve that statistic. He said: "Defensively we're still doing okay but we're just not scoring enough goals at the moment. There's no blame attached to the front two as the midfielders need to chip in as well and improve the quality into the box."
