Wisbech player/boss Gary Setchell is tapping his professional contacts to try to bolster the Fenmen's squad ahead of today's Ridgeons Premier home game against Walsham-le-Willows.

The recently-appointed Setchell is working overtime to add some experience to his young squad.

“I've been speaking to Dave Oldfield at Rushden and Mark Cooper, who is currently the manager of Kettering,” said the former King's Lynn and Tamworth defender. “He used to be an agent and is still involved with Peterborough. I'm looking to bring in a big striker and a couple of midfielders. When everyone is fit we will be fine, but I don't want to have the same situation as I did at the Mildenhall game when I had too many teenagers on the bench. I want to bring them through one at a time.”

Setchell also revealed up to seven players have agreed to take wage cuts to help the club balance the books. He said: “The players have responded excellently and they understand the situation we're in.”

Paul Cousins and Nick Impey are set to return to the Fenmen squad against sixth-placed Walsham-le-Willows, but Lee Day and Grant Rider are still unavailable.

Second-placed Dereham entertain Wivenhoe at Aldiss Park buoyed by the return of cup-tied striker Chris Bacon. Matty Henman has a fully fit squad. Defender Dean Miller is poised for a reserve run out following a long-term knee injury. Midfielder Adam Smith agreed a contract extension during midweek that ties him to the club until the end of the 2010 season.

Leaders Lowestoft will be aiming to keep up the good work when they entertain lowly Whitton while main title rivals Leiston are at home to Stanway.

Downham trio Danny Foulsham (hamstring) Paul Harrod (groin) and Marcus Fendley (hamstring/foot) are set to miss Town's First Division trip to Clacton.

Fakenham striker Karl Pask is back to lead the Ghosts' line in the Norfolk Senior Cup fourth round home tie against Loddon.
