Blues fans saw some promising signs in the warm-ups ahead of last Saturday’s Buildbase FA Trophy win against Mossley, with Jonathan Burn, Adam Gell and Lewis Hawkins all being involved in the pre-match preparations.
All three have recently been out with injuries. Josh MacDonald also made an appearance off the substitutes bench.
Lewis Ritson is likely to be sidelined for the remainder of the season, however, after a serious injury picked up at Warrington Town in October.
