TERRY YORATH is delighted Town have only one man on the injury list, but he admits they are missing Boothy.

Andy Booth has played only once in the last seven matches and, even then, it was for only a few minutes.

An ankle injury in the early stages against Wrexham has sidelined the big striker until New Year, and it's proving a blow, says the first-team coach.

"Any team would miss Boothy because he gives us that little bit extra," said Yorath.

"He has the priceless ability to head the ball at both ends of the field, and that's not detracting from the rest of the work he does.

"His experience is vital to us, and losing players of that calibre affects teams at any level.

"Just look at Newcastle. They were going great guns in the Premiership until Alan Shearer got injured. I don't know what their recent record is, but they've struggled without him."

Booth is fighting to be fit to face Hull.
