Martyn Waghorn, Cole Skuse, Callum Connolly and Adam Webster return to the Town side facing Bristol City at Ashton Gate this afternoon.

The Blues look set to return to their back three system with Webster on the left of skipper Luke Chambers and Cameron Carter-Vickers.

Jordan Spence and Jonas Knudsen are the wing-backs, while Skuse, facing his hometown club where he started his career, and Connolly are in central midfield. Grant Ward and Freddie Sears are set to line-up either side of central striker Waghorn.

Bristol City make one change, central defender Nathan Baker misses out with a groin injury and Hordur Magnusson comes into the team.

Bristol City: Fielding, Pisano, Wright (c), Magnusson, Kelly, Brownhill, Pack, Smith, Paterson, Diédhiou, Reid. Subs: Wollacott, Hegeler, O'Neil, Kent, Walsh, Djuric, Diony.

Town: Bialkowski, Carter-Vickers, Chambers (c), Webster, Spence, Skuse, Connolly, Ward, Knudsen, Sears, Waghorn. Subs: M Crowe, Celina, Hyam, Gleeson, Drinan, Kenlock, Morris. Referee: Darren England (South Yorkshire).

cat added 14:32 - Mar 17 A better looking team more suitable to an away fixture. A team packed with the graft with little craft, bet Mick's foaming at the mouth with the proper blokes all in. Poldark - down marking our Martin when he's attending the game??? Shame on you!

toxtethblue added 14:40 - Mar 17 Celina can create something out of nothing and takesa mean free kick. He has flair, skill and vision. In the world of MM, not required...

heathen66 added 14:44 - Mar 17 Glad to see Webster back but I think it does prove that we cannot now play 4-4-2 as Spence, CCV, Chambers and Knudsen are not up to it. Back to a back 5 with 2 holders. I cannot see Mick straying from that for the rest of the season apart from bringing in 3 holders. As long as Sears is player up top with Waghorn then that is progress, but I doubt it. He will be up top by himself with Waghorn as a No.10 or played out wide covering Knudsen

braveblue added 15:04 - Mar 17 Sears in front of Celina. Would any other manager in the league even contemplate that decision.

ricardo55555 added 15:09 - Mar 17 Link the formation with mick feeling adventurous enough to only play 2 holding midfeilder But Sears really? Imagine Celina and Carayol either side of Waghorn if Caryol was fit.

Northstandveteran added 15:26 - Mar 17 Listening on the radio realising that I really couldn't give a.... Feel free to use your own word in the brackets (.........) what the team or score is. Completely irrelevant and meaningless

Northstandveteran added 15:28 - Mar 17 And just heard over 1000 town fans have made the journey to Bristol. Always have had a great away fans. You're support really isn't deserving of such dross

alexsmith111 added 17:07 - Mar 17 Sorry, Sears is a great player with great effort, he is in and out of the team, in the wrong position, in a team with poor moral, poor vision and poor motivation. He would thrive in the right team. Wrong person being targeted

Seasider added 13:55 - Mar 18 Not sure agree Alex;did you see him bang in front of goal,just out side penalty area and chose to pass rather than shoot
