Clist to Miss Villa Game

New loan signing Simon Clist, who had a good first game for the Bulls yesterday, is unable to play at Villa Park on Tuesday as he is cup-tied.

Clist played for Oxford in their first round match against Cardiff City. The left winger scored their only goal of the game.

His unavailability poses another problem for manager Jamie Pitman who could be without at least three other players.

Adam Bartlett, Stefan Stam and Benoit Dalibard are all real doubts whilst Rob Purdie and Joe Heath may have recovered from their injuries to take at least some part in the game.

New loan signing keeper David Cornell should continue in goal, whilst Danny Williams, who came on as a sub yesterday when Stam pulled up, may be given his first start for the Bulls since Spring 2005.
