LEE Evans will have another opportunity to stake his claim as Stafford Rangers' first choice goalkeeper when he faces Northwich Victoria at Marston Road tomorrow (3pm).
Injuries have hindered the former Chasetown stopper following his move to the Blue Square North side in the summer.
But Stafford boss Chris Brindley believes supporters have yet to see the best of Evans and hopes the midweek 3-2 defeat of high-flying Ilkeston Town will be a much needed boost.
"When you are not winning games, everything and everyone gets questioned," said Brindley.
"Lee has not been at his best, but he has had a broken nose and a broken metatarsal, and because he has been struggling, his confidence is low.
"But the more he plays, the better he will be. It's like with everyone, he just needs a bit of confidence at the moment."
Defender Andy Owens and midfielder Levi Reid missed the Ilkeston match with flu and remain doubtful. Skipper Bobby Wilson picked up an injury in midweek, but should be fit.
