Kelvin Jack is still ruled out for the Gills as is fellow Trinidad and Tobogo international Brent Sancho. Gary Mulligan and Ian Cox should be fit for the game after playing the full 90 minutes on Saturday despite not training for the whole of last week. Matty Jarvis who has been linked with a couple of Premiership clubs this week, and will be putting that behind him as he looks set to continue his strike role. Gary Mulligan is set to be relegated to the bench to make way for Guylain Ndumbu-Nsungu who impressed during the time he came on.
