MARK Bower faces one of his most difficult selection choices of the season tomorrow.

His second-placed Guiseley team gave what was almost a complete performance last weekend in winning 3-0 at Stockport County in Vanarama Conference North.

That was even playing with only ten men for almost half the match after the dismissal of Shane Killock.

Bower might be tempted to leave well alone were it not for the fact that Wayne Brooksby and Danny Lowe are back from suspension.

"It is a nice headache to have," admitted the Lions boss before his side face fourth-placed Conference North rivals Chorley in the first round of the FA Trophy at Nethermoor.

"Chorley came up from the Evo-Stik Premier Division last season (as champions) and are doing really well. They are direct and physical but they have some good players too.

"However, if we play how we have been doing recently, then we will win more than we lose."

Bower was purring after the victory at Edgeley Park, where the red card for central defender Killock might have made Guiseley alter their formation but certainly did not affect their confidence.

The Lions boss said: "People say that we played better with ten men than 11. But if we had put away the chances we created, we would have been 3-0 or 4-0 up by half-time.

"Also, the back four of Killock, Danny Ellis, Ryan Toulson and Ben Parker are playing well.

"Jake Lawlor, who has been doing well in midfield, dropped back into defence after the dismissal and shone there.

"Danny Boshell and Andy Holdsworth, who we brought on for Nicky Boshell, played in front of our defence and nicked the ball when they could.

"Then we had Oli Johnson, Gavin Rothery and Adam Boyes up front and they are always likely to get you a goal.

"Oli may have got the headlines after two assists and a goal but he has some good players around him too."
