YORK City boss Chris Brass is calling on his players to reproduce the form that earned a 2-2 home draw against Oxford earlier this season.

Goals by Richard Hope and Lee Nogan gave the Minstermen a point against the promotion-chasing Us and Brass is hoping for a similar display at the Kassam Stadium tonight.

He said: "They have not lost many games and are a difficult side but they have drawn a lot. We played ever so well against them in October and were unfortunate not to get the three points.

"I think we were one of the first teams to get two goals against them and that speaks volumes about the way we played on the night. They are a very strong, physical side but we have to have the confidence to pass the ball and express ourselves. It's a lovely stadium and the nice surface should suit our game."

Justin Walker is expected to return to midfield for the Minstermen in his penultimate game of a two-month loan spell from Cambridge United.

Brass said: "Justin has made an impact since he came here and we will be discussing his situation after the Kidderminster game to see if we can do something now or maybe over the summer."

Kidderminster's 2-1 home win over Northampton means that City are the lowest scorers in Division Three with just 29 goals going in to tonight's game at Oxford.

Jan Molby's Harriers have now netted 30 goals to City's 29.

York-born Pawel Abbott scored his third goal in as many games for Huddersfield since joining them on loan from Preston as the Terriers beat Yeovil 3-1 last night at the McAlpine Stadium.
