Bristol Rovers winger Ellis Harrison should be rewarded for a recent upturn in form by being handed his first start in almost three months at AFC Wimbledon tomorrow.
Manager Darrell Clarke should also consider reverting to a more orthodox 4-4-2 formation as his side go in search of three points at Kingsmeadow, according to the results of this week's 'You're the gaffer' online poll.
Harrison has not started a game since Rovers lost 3-0 to exit the FA Cup at Birmingham City in the middle of January, but 38% of those who cast a vote believe the young Welshman should be one of two wingers to start.
Kaid Mohamed was the most popular of the three out-and-out wingers currently available in the squad and should feature on the other flank as 48% of voters advocated a return to a 4-4-2 formation as opposed to staying with the 3-5-2 (30%) deployed in defeat at Bury on Tuesday night.
Of the three central defenders vying for two places at the heart of the back four Mark McChrystal (40%) and Danny Woodards (36%) were preferred ahead of Tom Parkes (24%). Tom Lockyer should partner John-Joe O'Toole in a two-man midfield, while Steven Gillespie and David Clarkson were the two most-voted for strikers.
Your XI (4-4-2): Mildenhall; Smith, Woodards, McChrystal, Brown; Mohamed, O'Toole, Lockyer, Harrison; Gillespie, Clarkson.
Your shouts: Start with Mo and Harrison on the wings for some much needed pace in the team, need to get at Wimbledon from early doors! #UTG - Ben Carter
* Keep same formation and method as adopted on Tuesday at Bury. Allow Clucas a game at the expense of Ollie Clarke as he may add a little MORE bite ? - anon.
* The back line pretty much picks itself. I would love to see Seanan given a go alongside Clarke. Tom Lockyer is a fantastic player but he is a defender. John-Joe should play behind the natural goalscorer Gillespie. We might win away then! - Lee
* I would play 4-5-1 with Danny Woodards protecting the back four and Kaid Mohamed a licence to roam from wing to wing - Mike England
* Want to see Gough up front and Lockyer in goal - anon.
