Lee Hendrie was named on the bench for his first City game against Gillingham this afternoon.

But Peter Taylor sprung a surprise with his line-up with centre half Luke Oliver expected to take the centre forward role.

Louis Moult was given a start instead of Gareth Evans, who has looked short of confidence in recent weeks.

And Steve Williams was recalled to partner skipper Shane Duff in the middle of defence.

David Syers, who scored at Stockport last week, was surprisingly dropped to the bench.

City looked likely to play 4-3-3.

CITY: McLaughlin, Hunt, Duff, Williams, Threlfall, Bullock, Doherty, O'Brien, Speight, Oliver, Moult. Subs: Rehman, Daley, Evans, Hendrie, Osborne, Syers, Saxton.
