York City vs Accrington Stanley - Jackie McNamara to make sweeping changes

Posted Friday, November 27, 2015 by PA

York boss Jackie McNamara is set to make sweeping changes for his side's meeting with Accrington at Bootham Crescent.

McNamara has been busy in the loan market since his side plunged into the relegation zone after a 6-0 hammering at Portsmouth on Tuesday - their seventh successive defeat.

Kenny McEvoy, Jordan Lussey and Stefan O'Connor are set to go straight into the Minstermen's midfield after joining from Tottenham, Bolton and Arsenal this week.

Jonathan Greening starts a three-game suspension after being sent off at Fratton Park, while striker Jake Hyde is pushing for a start.

Dean Winnard's chances of playing for Accrington on Saturday have been rated as "doubtful" by boss John Coleman.

Prior to Tuesday's clash with Hartlepool being postponed because of a waterlogged pitch, Winnard sat out the 3-2 win at Cambridge last weekend - fifth-placed Stanley's third victory in four league matches - due to an unspecified injury problem.

Coleman has also said he has a couple of players ill and one or two not at 100 per cent.

Winnard's fellow defender Adam Buxton is another who has been sidelined of late.
