Banbury United manager Kevin Brock is refusing to press the panic button, despite seeing his side slump to the foot of the Southern League Premier Division table after their midweek defeat at Halesowen.

Brock, whose side have managed just one point so far, are at home to Cirencester Town tomorrow.

But although disappointed at the start Banbury have had, Brock said: "We have only played four games so far.

"If we were top after four games, we wouldn't be saying we are going to win the league. We have to keep things in perspective, it's very early days."

Matthew Brandish is back in the squad after missing Tuesday's game through work.

Oxford City assistant boss Pete Lamont has hailed new signing Mark Simms, who scored a hat-trick on his return debut in midweek.

City beat Egham 6-1, and Lamont was full of praise for the former Banbury United striker.

He said: "Mark has a sparky character, and he made a massive difference to us."

City travel to Bedworth United, and with keeper Steve Benbow unavailable, Joe Caulfield will deputise between the sticks.

Stewart Douglas, Jon Steadman and Chris Perkin are all added to the squad.

Thame United will hope to halt their slide down the table when they host Mangotsfield United.

Micky Channon is ruled out with a broken cheekbone which requires surgery.

Brackley Town will be without the injured Paul Powell again for their trip to Stourport Swifts.
