Robins - selection poser

Mark Robins' men look to bounce back from a very poor display at Barnet on Saturday and clamber back into the play off frame in League Two.

The gaffer has hinted at changes in the starting line up with Bruce Dyer, who's far from hit his straps since joining on loan from Donny, dropping to the bench and it's likely Derek Holmes will be recalled to play upfront with Chris O'Grady.

Danny Harrison is again missing with a knee problem and the midfield is lacking in creativity in his absence. Robins must decide whether Dale Tonge continues in the centre or returns to full back if the 3-5-2 formation from the weekend is scrapped. Ian Sharps came though unscathed and will partner Graham Coughlan again.

Macc are without veteran Richard Edghill with a calf problem, whilst Nick Blackman, Andrew Teague and Jamie Tolley are all missing with injuries too.

Izak Reid will keep his place at the back despite the side slipping to a 2-1 defeat against Chester on Saturday.

Last time out:
Lee, Izak Reid (Morley 89), Dimech, McNulty, McIntyre, Levi Reid (Wiles 72), Dunfield, Murray, Thomas, Green, Gritton (Evans 84).
Subs Not Used: Brain, Hadfield.

Here's the head to head between the two sides, all be it brief.
