- Ryan Lowe could make one change to the side that faced Bristol City on opening weekend with attacking midfielder Duane Holmes coming in for a start off the back of a solid full debut in midweek.
- Right-back Calvin Ramsay has arrived with plenty of intrigue, but the Liverpool loanee is yet to feature as he manages a minor injury.
- Tony Mowbray will be without right-back Trai Hume this weekend after he was sent off in the defeat to Ipswich, so expect Lynden Gooch to step in this weekend.
- Aji Alese and Ross Stewart are among six injuries for the away side to contend with.
