AFC Wimbledon vs Bury preview - Front duo to start for Dons

Posted Friday, October 10, 2014 by PA

Matt Tubbs and Adebayo Akinfenwa return up front for AFC Wimbledon against Bury.

The strike duo, who have scored 13 goals between them this season, started the midweek Johnstone's Paint Trophy win at MK Dons on the bench although both came on in the second half, with Akinfenwa hitting the winner.

Boss Neal Ardley, who has a full-strength squad following Jack Smith and Andy Frampton's recent returns from injury, can also recall skipper Alan Bennett and winger Sean Rigg.

Teenage striker George Oakley is also fit after two months out with a hamstring injury.

League leaders Bury will hope to welcome back skipper Jim McNulty and midfielder Kelvin Etuhu.

Central defender McNulty was a late withdrawal from Tuesday's win over Morecambe due to a slight ankle concern and Etuhu was rested as the Shakers marched on in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

Ryan Lowe, Danny Rose and Daniel Nardiello will once again vie for the positions up front, with the latter having scored five in the past four fixtures.

James Poole and Keil O'Brien remain injured on the sidelines, while Shwan Jalal appears to have wrestled back the goalkeeping jersey from Rob Lainton.
