Luton Town v York City

30 March 2012 16:16
Striker Jason Walker returns to face former club Luton Town in a crucial promotion encounter at Kenilworth Road on Friday evening (kick-off 7.30pm).

Sixteen-goal Walker [right] has recovered from a hamstring strain and is ready to be recalled into a side which earned a hard-fought 1-0 victory at bottom club Bath City in midweek.Defenders Jamal Fyfield and Ben Gibson could also be back and will have late checks on ankle injuries."It's a massive game. We've got to go up there and pick up a result, make sure that if we don't win the game we don't lose it and we continue to stay in the top five," manager Gary Mills told BBC Radio York."We know if we win or draw we'll remain exactly that going into Tuesday's game at Newport so it's a big game for us."It means a lot, it means a lot to the supporters, and I think the outcome will dictate something towards what's going to go on in the next few weeks."Having won the semi-final, beaten them at home in the league, they'll be absolutely desperate to turn that around and beat us." Luton are already without Amari Morgan-Smith, Dan Gleeson and James Dance, while defenders Ed Asafu Adjaye and Greg Taylor are also rated doubtful. Former York midfielder Andre Boucaud is ineligible under the terms of his move after joining the Hatters earlier in the season.
