Walton's welcome return

Last updated : 27 January 2005 By Matthew Gamble
Walton has been out with a groin problem and has not featured in 2005.

While his return is an obvious boost, it is not likely that he will go straight into first-team action, despite playing a full reserve game.

Town's defence, with the exception of the Dalington disaster, has been strong under Peters, and risking an injury to the side's best defender may not be a smart move.

Town also look to be without Neil Ashton, who has not recovered from his ankle problem sustained against Boston.

Town will be looking to return to the form which saw them keep four clean sheets in five games before last week's defeat ahead of next week's return match with Leyton Orient.
