Phil Parkinson kept faith with the side that won so well in the Capital One Cup for the League Two opener at Gillingham.

New boys Zavon Hines and Carl McHugh, whose signings were rubber-stamped this morning, were both included among the seven substitutes.

Andrew Davies was also back on the bench after recovering from the thigh problem that has dogged him through pre-season. He only returned to training on Thursday.

But there was no Ritchie Jones, who did not travel after turning his ankle in training yesterday.

CITY: Duke, Darby, McArdle, Oliver, Meredith, Thompson, Atkinson, Jones, Reid, Connell, Hanson. Subs: Davies, Hannah, McHugh, Hines, Wells, Doyle, McLaughlin.
