Valley
have been in good form in the past
six league games which have included
four wins, the latest of which a 1-0
victory over Swindon Supermarine last
weekend.
However,
Rugby have been disrupted with injury
and suspesion leaving manager Billy
Jeffrey with few options.
Delroy
Gordon is still a week or so from
full fitness after having a cist removed
from his knee only a week ago while
midfielder Scott Musgrove is struggling
with an ankle injury and will also
miss out.
Meanwhile,
Leigh Platnauer, who incurred a red
card in the last outing against Swindon
is a doubt as is versatile defender
Ashley Blake.
Both
players picked up niggling injuries
during the week while striker David
Kolodynski will begin his three-match
suspension after the sending off against
Tiverton two weeks ago.
Cirencester have yet to record a victory
from their eight league games this
season, and they only escaped relegation
at the end of the last campaign as
a result of the demise of clubs in
other leagues after they themselves
finished second bottom - a position
they occupy this time round too.
Rugby's record against this Saturday's
opponents Cirencester was poor in
2006-07, with the Centurions doing
the double over Valley, 3-1 and 2-1
at home and away respectively. They
are now managed by the ex-Reading
and Swindon defender Adi Viveash,
following the resignation of the previous
incumbent Neil Hards at the end of
a troublesome last season.
