Bury vs Luton Town preview - Flicker pondering options

Posted Tuesday, March 03, 2015 by PA

In-form Bury have decisions to make in attack ahead of Luton's visit to the JD Stadium.

Shakers manager David Flitcroft will pick from a full-strength squad against the Hatters and knows his men, who are unbeaten in five, are brimming with confidence after three straight victories.

Striker Ryan Lowe (hamstring) was an unused substitute in the weekend victory over Plymouth but was due to come on before Danny Rose, an earlier replacement, scored a late goal.

Midfielder Tom Soares (ankle) made his comeback in Saturday's win too, while Craig Jones and Jim McNulty will be among those hoping Flitcroft decides to make changes for the short turnaround.

Luton captain Stephen McNulty is available again after serving a four-match suspension and the big centre-half is expected to go straight back into the starting line-up.

Hatters boss John Still will check on goalkeeper Mark Tyler. The 37-year-old has missed the last two games with a knee injury and Elliot Justham will continue between the posts should he not pass a fitness test.

Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu (hamstring), Ryan Hall (illness), Paul Benson (broken leg), Alex Wall and Alex Lawless (foot) all came through a full session of training on Monday but, with the exception of McNulty and possibly Tyler, the Luton squad is likely to be as it was at the weekend.

Nathan Doyle also remains out injured with a knee problem.
