Andy Thomson faces six to eight weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring tear he suffered during Saturday's draw against Northampton. The news continues Thomson's injury-plagued year, following the recent collapse of the striker's proposed move to Hull due to a longstanding back condition.

On a brighter note, Richard Pacquette has been passed fit for Saturday's match against Port Vale after a hamstring strain and Richard Langley may also feature after treatment for a knee problem.
