TOWN’S TEAM vs. GILLINGHAM

Posted on: Sat 06 Mar 2010

Town manager Lee Clark has made two changes to his starting eleven for today's League One game at Gillingham; kick-off 3pm at Priestfield.

The first change comes at left-back, where Robbie Williams replaces Dean Heffernan. The former Barnsley man will make his first start for the Club since the 0-0 draw at Brighton back in early February.

The other change comes on the wing - Liverpool loanee Nathan Eccleston makes his fourth start for the Club at the expense of Gary Roberts, who drops to the bench.

This means that Town will line up in a 4-4-2 formation, with 'keeper Alex Smithies protected by a back four of Williams, skipper Peter Clarke, Neal Trotman and Tom Clarke, who continues at right-back in place of the injured Lee Peltier. Eccleston and Anthony Pilkington will occupy the flanks with Danny Drinkwater partnering Antony Kay in the middle of the park, leaving the ever-reliable strike force of Jordan Rhodes and Lee Novak to lead the line.
