Wycombe Preview

23 August 2013

We look forward to Saturday's big game

A full preview of Saturday's home game against Wycombe Wanderers

TEAM NEWS
Dave Kitson is set to return to the United squad after missing United’s trip to Torquay last weekend, having taken a blow to the ribs in the last home game against Bury. Alfie Potter is fit to play despite having three stitches in his nose after being kicked in the Torquay match.

Sean Rigg is out for six to eight weeks after tearing his hamstring last weekend. He joins Jon Meades on United’s long-term injury list, as Meades is still recovering from ankle ligament damage sustained during pre-season. Rigg’s absence will open the door for Asa Hall, Ryan Williams or Callum O’Dowda to stake a place in the side.

IN OPPOSITION
Wycombe could be set to hand a debut to 20-year-old loanee Billy Knott, who joined the Chairboys on loan from Sunderland on Tuesday. Striker Paris Cowan-Hall will miss out after straining medial ligaments during Wycombe’s 1-0 home defeat to Mansfield last weekend.

Manager Gareth Ainsworth told BBC Three Counties Radio that he expects a reaction from his players at the Kassam: "If there's any game they'll want to get the performance back, it's in the local derby against Oxford. It will be a cauldron and we'll be going in as underdogs as Oxford have started the season so well. We've got everything to spoil and I'm looking forward to it."

Flag Day
Every United fan is being encouraged to bring a flag, banner or scarf to Saturday's match to help make it an atmosphere to remember. If you are coming along then bring a flag, or something yellow, and making as much noise as possible.  
Numerous large flags will be placed across the back of the East and North Stands and across empty seats that separate fans in the North Stand. So the Yellow Army is appealing for fans to bring flags to place on the barriers at the front of each section of the home ends and waving flags to complete the display.
