Banbury United boss Paul Davis will keep his side’s attacking style of play, but accepts it will bring mixed results.

The Puritans were pointless when Davis took over at the end of August, but are now off the bottom of the Premier Division table.

Banbury, who visito Chippenham Town tomorrow bowed out of the Red Insure Cup on Tuesda, going down 5-3 at home to Daventry, but their manager says the new style has more positives than negatives.

“We won’t change the way we play,” he said.

“We know that some teams will catch us on the break, but that’s the philosophy I have installed here and that won’t alter.

“We will keep on attacking.”

Davis made ten changes for the midweek clash in a bid to let a number of players recover from knocks.

“We are struggling for defenders for Saturday,” he said.

“There will be quite a few players who will just have to be patched up and get through it.”

Jack Westbrook and Aidan Hawtin are the main doubts, struggling with ankle injuries.

Harry White hit a treble in midweek, but has been more used to coming off the bench in league action this week.

“When a player scores a hat-trick of course it sends a message to the manager, so I have a decision to make over Harry,” Davis added.

TOMORROW’S SQUAD

Banbury Utd (v Chippenham Tn, away): from Bedwell, Cray, Lynn, Mzungwana, Martin, White, Fishwick, Howards, Hawtin, Shama, Walcott, Browne, Katsoloudi, Houston, Tappin, Ryan, Wickham, Murombedzi, Jervis.
