Neal Ardley could stick with unchanged Dons line-up

AFC Wimbledon boss Neal Ardley may opt to name an unchanged line-up for the Sky Bet League One game at home to Gillingham.

The Dons were denied all three points at Coventry by a last-minute equaliser but Ardley was left frustrated by the officials, rather than his players.

Forwards Tom Elliott and Dominic Poleon are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, along with midfielders Tom Beere and Chris Whelpdale.

Wimbledon are currently unbeaten in three games and will be looking to extend that run as they attempt to move away from the wrong end of the table.

Gillingham will assess defender Paul Konchesky, who missed the midweek 3-3 draw at Chesterfield because of a calf strain.

Teenager Darren Oldaker made his debut against Chesterfield in one of five changes by Gills boss Justin Edinburgh, whose side earned a point at the Proact Stadium with an equaliser in the fourth minute of stoppage time.

Forward Cody McDonald has been troubled by a foot problem and will also be monitored along with striker Rory Donnelly and full-back Ryan Jackson, but on-loan Reading goalkeeper Jonathan Bond is sidelined by a groin injury.

Full-back Bradley Garmston continues his recovery from a knee problem sustained in pre-season, while defender Aaron Morris (knee) remains out and midfielder Lee Martin (ankle) is a long-term absentee.
