Batt back for Bantams clash

29 October 2010 12:30
Oxford should welcome Damian Batt back into the squad for their trip to Bradford. The defender has not played since the end of August after suffering an ankle injury, but he is back to full fitness and played for the reserves in midweek. On-loan midfielder Josh Payne is set to continue in boss Chris Wilder's plans after agreeing a pre-contractual agreement with the Us on a two-and-a-half-year deal. Oxford bounced back from two consecutive defeats last week when they beat lowly Northampton, and Wilder could keep faith with the same team at Valley Parade. Jake Wright returned in that game with the Cobblers following an injury, and after coming through unscathed, he will again feature.
