Bury Town welcome back skipper Tom Bullard and Craig Nurse to the squad following their three-match suspensions for today’s needle match with high flying AFC Hornchurch at Ram Meadow

They will however be without Danny Cunningham who starts a two match ban for collecting ten yellow cards. Mark Coulson is doubtful after sustaining a thigh muscle injury at Hastings on Tuesday.

If he does not recover it will mean a full Ryman League Premier Division debut for Conner Hall who did very well when coming on for Coulson at Hastings

Sam Reed is unlikely to be involved, as he is still struggling with a reaction to an old knee inmjury, and Billy Clark will need a fitness test on an ankle problem.

Bury need to win to maintain their challenge for a play-off place and they could be helped by the absence of the visitors top scorer Martin Tuohy.
