Maric in City line-up to face Raith

Last updated : 14 July 2009 By Rick Lamb
On-trial striker Goran Maric will start up front with Jamie Cureton tonight, while Jon Otsemobor will play in a more advanced role at Raith Rovers tonight.

Otsemobor's push forward gives Michael Spillane a chance at right back after an impressive showing in midfield against Dartford. It also highlights the paucity of options on that side of midfield.

In the middle of defence, David Stephens will partner Michael Nelson in front of Jed Steer, while new signings Matthew Gill and Owain Tudur Jones will start in midfield. Matty Pattison looks likely to play down the left having impressed as a busy substitute in the centre on Saturday.

Full team: Steer, Spillane, Drury, Gill, Nelson, Stephens, Otsemobor, Tudur Jones, Maric, Cureton, Pattison
