JAMIE Pitman was forced into one change for the trip to Priestfield Stadium with Ben Purkiss ruled out after his sending off at Bradford last Saturday.
And the Bulls chief decided on one other with Michael Townsend available again after his two-match ban.
Danny Williams was recalled to the right-back position for the first time since the early days of the season.
And Townsend’s return saw Will Evans pushed up into midfield to the exclusion of Nicky Featherstone.
