Simon Grayson has reported a full strength squad for the trip to Sheffield United on Saturday (1pm).

Long-term absentee Paddy Kisnorbo is the only member of the squad unavailable and Grayson is more than happy that competition for places is increasing by the day.

"At the start of the season we had a lot of injuries, but we never made anything of it," said the boss.

"Now, we have a fit, strong squad and they are all pushing hard. Sanchez, Lloyd, and Ross all did well in the reserves in midweek and they are pushing.

"The competition isn't just about matchdays, it's about every day in training as well. If someone is off it or they are slacking they know they could lose their place.

"There's nine games to go and we're going into them with a fully fit squad which is pleasing."

Club captain Richard Naylor is also available for selection after missing the reserve game in midweek due to a slight knock.
