Carlisle vs Accrington Stanley - Brandon Comley set for League Two bow with Carlisle

Posted Friday, February 05, 2016 by PA

Brandon Comley is expected to make his League debut for Carlisle when they host Accrington in Sky Bet League Two.

The on-loan QPR midfielder played an hour of the FA Cup defeat to Everton last weekend and is expected to retain his place following Gary Dicker's departure to Kilmarnock.

Danny Grainger is still struggling with an ankle knock so defender Michael Raynes will keep the armband in his absence.

Luke Joyce is available again following a two-match suspension as Keith Curle's side look to end a run of three league games without a win.

New signings Scott Brown, Mark Hughes and Rommy Boco could be in line for their Accrington debuts this weekend.

Brown was an unused substitute in Stanley's 1-0 victory over Bristol Rovers, while Boco returned for his third spell at the club after leaving fellow promotion-chasers Portsmouth.

Hughes was signed following his release from Stevenage but failed to make the matchday squad last Saturday.

Dean Winnard remains a long-term absentee with an ankle problem.
