TEAM NEWS
Tyrone Barnett will be looking to end his loan at Oxford United with a goal as the U's welcome Bury in Sky Bet League 2. The on-loan Peterborough striker has scored three goals in his last two games but reaches the maximum 93rd day of his loan on Saturday. There are plenty of attacking options waiting in the wings for the U's though with John Campbell and Wes Burns hoping for a first appearance in the yellow shirt and Will Hoskins and James Roberts back in training after injury.
Having gone five games unbeaten the U's also welcome Chey Dunkley back into the squad after he was ineligible against Tranmere in the cup last weekend.
See Micky Lewis, Tareiq Holmes-Dennis and Johnny Mullins give their thoughts ahead of the game in Yellow Player.
THE OPPOSITION
By contrast Bury are without a win in five games with an FA Cup draw against Luton ending a four game losing streak. Boss David Flitcroft celebrated a year in charge this week.
“As a football club and as a team we are evolving and striving to get better,” he said of the anniversary. “Have we made progress? I think 100 per cent, in every area.We just need to keep having the belief that if we stick together and show the similar sort of progress we made last season, then that will continue this season and the seasons beyond that.”
Bring a Friend for FREE
Season ticket holders can bring a friend for FREE on Saturday.
All you have to do is present Voucher F to the ticket office or call 01865 337533 to book the free ticket for a friend, colleague or family member.
It’s the last home game before Christmas, so book your seats and get behind the U’s. With so many people likely to be collecting tickets it would save a lot of time if fans collecting pre-booked tickets could have Voucher F ready to present when they get to reception, and supporters are asked to allow a little extra time when collecting tickets.
