Buckland make their way back up the M5 towards Bath, to play Odd Down Last season Buckland just had the edge over their oppenents with a 2-1 win away and a draw at Homers.
One player missing will be Frenchman, Alex Jeannin who will be serving his one match ban for his two yellows in the game at Larkhall a few weeks ago. but i think all other squad members are available, with the exception of Marc Revell who still has a slight hamstring pull.
Gavin Hammon must be hoping for a start, as he came back last week for a good half hour and showed no reaction to his recent ankle problem.

If only I had not driven 1400 miles this week as I would have loved to gone and watched this match, but I only want to travel some short distance on Saturday to get my football fix this weekend.
Hoping for a good away win that will keep Bucks near the top of the table and if they play as well as they did away to Bridport, then they have every chance of returning to Devon with all three points.

A result that has dropped Buckland down to sixth place in the table, but they are only four points off the top spot. Its disappointing after coming from behind and going in front, to come home with nothing. You normally expect Buckland to be the team that scores late goals and so having one scored against them when a point looked safe must have been heart breaking for the travelling fans.
Buckland are at home to Slimbridge this coming Saturday, a team who has lost four of their six opening games and have a – 8 goal difference. Currently in 13th place in the table with only half the points Buckland have, but I feel Buckland will have to be at their best to beat them.
I should be at this game next Saturday as I need to return the programmes lent to be by the Bucks chairman. Talking of programmes I’m still looking for lots more to add to the programmes room, so if you have any you would be happy to lend to me for a short time, please get in contact.

Match report from the Odd Down website
Home win for Moore and Johnston
by Terry Moore
Odd Down arrived at the game off the back of a bit of time off and welcome captain Mike Baker back in to left back after an injured foot, and boss Terry Moore putting new signing from Bitton Steve Jones straight in to centre half to partner Lee Bridson
Odd Down were on the front foot from the off and forced an early corner, which was played to the back post by Rory Kay, for prolific frontman Kye Simpson to nod in unmarked to take an early lead. Simpson then had an opportunity to stretch the lead but a hefty touch gave the visiting keeper a chance to spread himself to prevent the shot. Kane Mannings did well to deny Buckland an equaliser when saving well with his legs. The rest of the first half was scrappy with not much else to talk about.
Half time 1-0
What ever the Buckland manager said at half time worked as the visitors came straight out the blocks and scored after a few minutes with a very good goal from the away sides winger beating and nutmegging at least two Odd Down players before sliding an accomplished finish in to the bottom corner. Buckland then started to dominate the midfield which brought a change from the home side bringing Twain Plummer on for Rory Kay pushing Troy Simpson back into midfield. Buckland continued to dominate and were rewarded when a goalmouth scramble was prodded home by the striker. Odd Down made an immediate change with Ash Scott replacing Rich Dawley with Baker going into midfield. Odd Down then started to pick the tempo up and made their own luck when the tireless Brad Norris chased a lost cause back pass, and the as the keeper attempted to clear his lines the ball cannoned off of Norris' backside and into the net. Leroy Swaby was then replaced by Mike Wright. This proved to be a good move as a long Wright throw in was flicked home by Troy Simpson in the 89th minute for what proved to be the winning goal.
3-2
Assistant manager Ray Johnston said he was delighted with the response and character shown when going behind, and to win the game so late was a great feeling.
