Fingers Crossed for Allsopp Return

The Australian missed the draw at Leyton Orient on Tuesday, but his elbow appears to have healed now. He returned to training yesterday, but a stomach muscle problem could yet rule him out of tomorrow's match.

Jason Price - who also missed Tuesday's game - will miss out again due to a hamstring injury. Defenders Alton Thelwell and Marc Joseph will also still be out, but all three are hopeful of returning to action the following week.

Paul Musselwhite will start in goal after Michel Kuipers went back to Brighton. Alan Fettis may be on the bench after recovering from a knee injury, but is lacking match practice.

That's the only forced change for Peter Taylor, and so unless Allsopp recovers then Jamie Forrester may play again, partnering Ben Burgess - who scored his second goal of the season against Orient - in attack. Young midfielder Russell Fry could be on the bench again as he looks forward to making his league debut.

Expected line-up (4-4-2): Musselwhite; Hinds, Whittle, Delaney, Dawson; Green, Ashbee, Keates, Elliott; Forrester, Burgess.
Subs from: Fettis, Holt, Melton, Fry, Webb, Allsopp.
