The trio are all back in training following hamstring, ankle and knee injuries respectively, but have been denied match practice after recent reserve games were called off. However, Taylor may take a chance by including them in the side as he looks to end the current poor run of form.

Andy Holt, Carl Regan, Steve Melton and Stuart Green are among those who could face the axe after a humiliating 3-0 defeat at Southend last week.

Taylor said changes are in order: "There will be one or two interesting selections and I might just surprise a few people. All I can do is look at the form of the team and play the players I think are going to be right on the day. If that means leaving out one or two familiar names then so be it."

Expected line-up (4-4-2): Fettis; Joseph, Whittle, Anderson, Delaney; Williams, Ashbee, Keates, Elliott; Forrester, Webb.
Subs from: Musselwhite, Burton, Regan, Holt, Appleby, Melton, Green, Dudfield, Jevons.
