COLNE boss Nigel Coates will be hoping to add experience to his young side for the visit of Bootle with the return of Scott Gizon.

The midfield man missed last weekend’s 3-0 defeat at Glossop North End but should be available tomorrow, although Sam Hayes and Steve Cunningham are both injured.

Coates says he has been largely happy with his side’s performances this season, considering it is mainly made up of youngsters.

“When you field a young side you don’t get the consistency you get with more experiences players,” said Coates. “It has been like that for a few seasons now but it is something you accept and get on with.”
