Middlesbrough loanee defender Jack Robinson returns to the substitutes’ bench, as does goalkeeper Max Evans following the departure of Olufela Olomola after he was recalled by Hartlepool United on Friday.

The change was one of two with Lawson D’Ath, who was a substitute for the 2-0 win at Dover Athletic at the weekend, coming in for Jordan Barnett.

Josh Staunton remains in the heart of defence alongside on-loan centre half Ben Barclay with skipper Luke Wilkinson only fit enough for the bench.
