Bradford City v Barnet - Team News

2:46pm Saturday 15th September 2012 in Sport By Adam Newson

New signing Krystian Pearce goes straight into the Barnet line-up for today’s clash against Bradford City and there are full debuts for John Oster and Jamal Lowe.

Pearce, who joined the Bees from Notts County on Thursday, starts in defence alongside David Stephens while Graham Stack remains in goal despite Liam O’Brien returning to the squad.

Andy Yiadom and Mark Byrne have both absent from the squad after suffering injuries against Gillingham.

Jack Saville, who also went off injured against the Gills, is on the bench alongside Bees captain Jon Fortune who has recovered from a knock which kept him out of last weekend’s fixture.

Barnet will be hoping to gain their first victory of the season but don’t have a great record at Valley Parade and were beaten 4-2 at Bradford last season.

Bradford City: McLaughlin; Meredith, Davies, Oliver, McArdle; Reid, Jones, Doyle, Hines; Hanson, Connell.

Bradford City substitutes: Duke, Darby, Ravehill, Thompson, Atkinson, McHugh, Wells.

Barnet: Stack; Fuller, Pearce, Stephens, Brown; Kamdjo, Weston, Oster; Holmes, Lowe, Nurse.

Barnet substitutes: O’Brien, Fortune, Saville, Lee, Gambin, Abdulla, Edgar.
