Stuart McCall made three changes for another game vital to his position as City boss.
Zesh Rehman, Jonathan Bateson and Gareth Evans were all dropped from the side beaten at Lincoln.
Steve Williams was recalled to the centre of defence to partner Matt Clarke. Michael Boulding and Scott Neilson were also back in a three-man frontline alongside Omar Daley.
Simon Ramsden, who took the captain's armband from Rehman, returned to his usual right-back role.
There were two welcome faces on the bench with Peter Thorne and Steve O'Leary among the substitutes.
CITY: Glennon, Ramsden, Williams, Clarke, O'Brien, Bullock, Flynn, Brandon, Neilson, M Boulding, Daley. Subs: Rehman, Evans, Thorne, Bateson, R Boulding, O'Leary, McLaughlin.
