Keith Alexander will be missing the services of Terry Dunfield for this weekend's encounter with Bradford City. The midfielder begins the first of his three game suspension for his red card against Blackpool in the week, but that aside the gaffer expects to be able to pick from a otherwise full strength squad.

"Terry will be a big miss for us as he gives us that extra something in the middle of the park. But its a chance for one of the other lads to come in and stake their claim so I am not unduly worried. We've picked up a few knocks as you would expect but nothing too serious and I have the luxury of picking from a full squad," explained Keith.

"We've had Bradford watched and they did well against Notts County last weekend. They did suffer a bit of a set back in the week against Huddersfield so we will need to be on our guard as Stuart McCall will be looking for a reaction no doubt. But it is amazing what a win can do for your confidence and I know the lads are looking forward to challenge and showing the win in the week was no fluke."

"It is inevitable that thoughts will be aimed at our trip to West Ham but as for my part we'll worry about that later. We've two important league games before then and it is important we get some points on the board. But its a great draw and a game I hope as many of our fans can make. It's a long way to go for a midweek game but hopefully with the great news that the club has been able to agree to much reduced prices we will have a healthy following to cheer us on."

"And of course the best way to prepare from the tie is by picking up three points on Saturday."
