Right-back Oliver Crowley picked up a knock in Tuesday’s emphatic 3-0 win over Fylde and although he has recovered could well be on the bench with Kelvin Bleau, currently Celtic’s senior player albeit with only 70 appearances, restored to the starting line-up.
Briggs was delighted with the way his side adapted on Tuesday after the visitors bossed the opening period.
“They caused us real problems in the first half but the lads took on board everything I asked of them at half time and we ran out clear winners. I’m loving the fact that the whole squad is keen to listen, learn and progress,” he commented.
Hyde, who have lost both games and are yet to score a goal, are away to Barrow. Manager Scott McNiven's only doubt is defender Kyle Brownhill who was hurt in the 3-0 defeat at North Ferriby on Tuesday.
