After the recent return to fitness of long term absentees Alan Judge and Krystian Pearce, Martin Allen has something of a fully fit squad to work with for Saturday's vital game with Brighton. However, Ricky Ravenhill will once again be missing through suspension after incurring a four-match ban for getting sent off at Tranmere Rovers. Meanwhile, David Martin and Carl Regan both returned to their parent clubs in the week so will be unavailable for selection.
Possible Side:-
Stuart Nelson
Stephen Darby - Liam Chilvers - Krystian Pearce - Jon Harley
Craig Westcarr - Neal Bishop - Mike Edwards - Alan Judge
Lee Hughes - Karl Hawley
For Brighton, Gus Poyet may once again opt to give some fringe players an opportunity to shine after they sealed the title last month. The Uruguayan does have a real selection dilemma upfront, with top scorer and inspiration Glenn Murray missing through a shoulder injury and Spaniard Francisco Sandaza also ruled out. Young Ashley Barnes is in good goalscoring form for the Seagulls, however. In defence, previous mainstay Adam El-Abd will also be missing
Possible Side:-
Petr Brezovan
Inigo Calderon - Gordon Greer - Tommy Elphick - Marcos Painter
Elliott Bennett - Liam Bridcutt - Matt Sparrow - Craig Noone
Chris Wood - Ashley Barnes
