Andy Hessenthaler makes two changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Morecambe in their last league outing. Defenders John Nutter and Josh Gowling retain their places from the midweek JPT tie at Shouthend.

They replace the injured Andy Barcham and Cody McDonald in what looks at first glance like a 5-4-1 formation though Hessy may deploy Nutter or Fuller in a midfield role.

Captain Barry Fuller will no doubt be hoping to mark his 100th appearance for the Gills with a first away win since the 1-0 triumph at Rochdale in May 2009.
