The Alex boss says that those players who can impress over the Easter period and in training still have a chance of making the 16-man squad for the Wembley final next month. Davis always stated that the team that overcame Coventry City in the Northern Section Final could well differ from the one that line’s up against the Shrimpers in London.

Following last night's 2-0 defeat to Crawley, the Alex boss said that places are certainly up for grabs for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final.

Steve told the club’s official web-site: “The opportunities are there and I always thought that the team that started against Coventry could be very different to the one that plays at Wembley.

“We had fringe players doing that of late. Ryan Colclough has done well, taken his chance and stayed in the team for Crawley.

"Michael West has also caught the eye in the Under-21s. He has improved and been the stand out performer. He has been doing really well of late." The boss added:
