The Bucks
The Bucks go into this game following a 3-0 victory against Huddersfield B at the weekend.
A Trialist scored all of the goals as The Bucks impressed.
Following the victory manager John McGrath said:
"I thought we were excellent very exciting loads of energy thought we pressed really well as a unit and as a group we worked on that this week”
I think when you work on something for the last couple of weeks and then you see it on a matchday like I’ve said before the hard work is on Monday to Friday for players to put into place on Saturday to see the high energy high press and then the quality on the ball when we do get into possession I was mightily impressed with it.”
Opposition
The club play their football in the NPL Premier Division.
They lost their last game in preseason to Derby County 3-0.
Their manager is Nicky Law who managed The Bucks between 2004-2007.
