Following the poor performance in the 1-1 draw with Plymouth Argyle last Friday, Lawrence has made several changes to the starting XI for tonight's game with Port Vale.

Following an impressive run of substitute appearances, and a brace in the recent 3-1 FAW Premier Cup victory over Total Network Solutions, Gavin Gordon will be given a deserved start in the line-up.

Gordon will be part of a 3 man attack, including Peter Thorne and Robert Earnshaw.

Mark Bonner is also set to start in midfield alongside Graham Kavanagh and Willie Boland. There will be no place in the starting line-up for Jason Bowen or Andy Legg, although both are likely to be on the bench.

Alan Mahon has still not recovered from flu which saw him miss last Friday's game, but he will also be part of the 17-man squad.

Lennie has kept faith in his back four of Gary Croft, Rhys Weston, Scott Young and Chris Barker, so Steve Jenkins will have to wait to make his first start for the Bluebirds. Neil Alexander will remain between the sticks.

Tonight's match is a re-arranged fixture and the BTTB crew will be amongst about 450 travelling City supporters.
