FA Cup hero Gareth Williams has his fingers crossed that he will be in the starting line-up for the Coca-Cola League One clash at Milton Keynes Dons this weekend.

The Welshman scored a precision first-time effort to open the scoring in the U's tremendous 2-0 win at Hull City in the FA Cup third round on Saturday, and is hoping he can do more of the same at the National Hockey Stadium.

"That is my fourth goal this season and I've scored in the last few games, so I hope I can give the manager a few selection headaches," he said.

"I think I have done enough to stay in the side, but it is down to Phil Parkinson at the end of the day, and I will just have to wait and see."

Williams was brought in along with Joe Keith at the weekend as Parkinson had to restructure his side following the loss of Richard Garcia to a thigh injury and Neil Danns to suspension.
