City will be keeping their fingers crossed over midfielder David Syers, who hurt his calf in the weekend’s defeat against Port Vale.

With James Hanson, Simon Ramsden and Michael Flynn out, Taylor cannot afford to lose another player to injury ahead of Saturday's visit to Stockport.

Syers signed on a one-year deal the first week into the season after impressing Taylor on trial. He scored his first goal in the Carling Cup win over Nottingham Forest.

Saturday was his first start in the league, although he played the full two hours against Preston in the cup the week before.

Taylor said: “David’s been a massive plus and we’re just hoping he’s got a kick rather than a pull.

“His energy is different class and nothing seems to faze him. David just goes out there and gets on with it.

“He’s been like that since the first day he walked into the building.”
