Yeltz cannot replace Devlin

Halesowen manager Morell Maison has admitted he faces an impossible task replacing the suspended Paul Devlin for tomorrow's  match against Hemel Hempstead Town in the British Gas Business League.

The manager said: "Paul has been playing in a specialist role, wide on the left but as a withdrawn third striker – a bit like Joe Cole plays for England.

"He has the experience to do that job but without him I might have to play a conventional left midfielder."

Maison has no fresh injury concerns.
