Craddock back for Oxford

01 January 2011 10:01
Oxford welcome back striker Tom Craddock for their clash against Southend. Craddock had to wait until Tuesday's win against Macclesfield to serve a one-match ban following a string of postponements. But the forward is available once again, and manager Chris Wilder is delighted to have the 24-year-old back, saying: "Tom is a really good player and with him back it adds to the competition up front. "Competition is good as the players realise that they need to play well to keep their place in the side." Jake Wright is fit enough to take a place in the squad after recovering from a broken foot, although he may have to settle for a place on the bench. Wilder is unlikely to have Leigh Franks fit, however, as the defender remains a doubt with a hamstring problem.
