PREVIEW: BUXTON FACE BANBURY AT THE SILVERLANDS


The Bucks are at home again as they face Banbury United.


The Bucks


The Bucks go into this game following their 4-1 win against ten Matlock in the Derbyshire cup on Tuesday.


Following the win manger Craig Elliott said:


"This is what we play football for, beating our near-neighbours and reaching a cup final.


"We let in a soft goal early on but there was determination to recover and produced some fine individual performances in the second half. I thought Jake Wright's two headed goals were outstanding, for example.


"Now it's back to the league, with two home games in a row. We're on a decent run and need to build on that and climb the table."


Buxton will be without Jak McCourt in this game with him serving the first game of his 2 game suspension.


Opposition

Banbury drew their last game 1-1 to Chester with Maja scoring from the spot.


They currently sit 17th with 37 points from 30 games.


After parting company with Mark Jones in January their new manager is Kevin Wilson. The ex Ilkeston manager played for Chelsea as a striker and made over 150 appearances.


The club finished 17th in the league last season.

They play their games at the Spencer Stadium that holds 3116.


They have made 2 signings ahead of this game bringing in 16 year old local lad Freddie Milner and 21 year old defender Rudi Pache who is a central defender that can also play right back.


One to Watch

Midfielder Emmanuel Maja has been amongst the goals in recent weeks grabbing  3 in his last 4 games.


He joined the club from Cheshunt in the summer.


Last time out

It was a convincing performance from The Bucks as they won 3-0 early on this season after a McCourt double and Burrow header sealed all 3 points.
