......... The latest to limp to the physio’s room has been Lionel Ainsworth, who was withdrawn with a hamstring problem early in Tuesday’s narrow defeat at Wigan, a match from which goalkeeper and captain Luke McCormick was a new absentee after suffering an ankle injury.
As well as the top and bottom of the Pilgrims spine being sidelined at Wigan, Derek was unable to call upon suspended Sonny Bradley and injured Jake Jervis, Aaron Taylor-Sinclair, Robert te Loeke and Oscar Threlkeld.
