Accrington vs Oxford preview - Stanley to check on Gray
Posted Monday, February 09, 2015 by PA
Accrington will run the rule over James Gray again prior to Oxford's trip to east Lancashire.
The striker missed Saturday's trip to Plymouth - which ended in Stanley's fifth straight loss - with a groin problem which may keep him out again.
Fleetwood loanee Scott Davies started in goal at Home Park now that Matt Macey, borrowed from Arsenal, has finished his one-month stint with the Sky Bet League Two club.
Stanley brought in three new players near the end of the transfer window and only one, Gerardo Bruna, is waiting to make his debut.
Oxford will assess right-back Richard Brindley before they head to The Crown Ground.
Brindley was forced out of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Luton after jarring his knee but his injury is not thought to be too serious and he could keep his place in Michael Appleton's line-up.
And the former Blackburn boss could name an unchanged line-up if Brindley is passed fit as they look to build on that encouraging point, their third draw in their last five League Two matches.
That means the likes of James Roberts and Danny Rose remaining on the bench.
