Albion wait on McGrath

Burton boss Paul Peschisolido will hope to have John McGrath available for the visit of Gillingham. The midfielder pulled out of the squad at Accrington in midweek after failing to make the recovery from a stomach bug that Peschisolido had anticipated. "We missed John McGrath on Saturday at Stockport and we missed him just as much at Accrington because he is one of those players we talk about with the right attitude," said the Canadian. "When all else goes wrong and when your passing and dribbling isn't good, there's no excuse for not running around, showing effort and closing down. John will do that and I can't wait to have him back in the side." Peschisolido could make changes after describing the performance in the defeat at Accrington as "lacklustre" and "desperate". On-loan Aston Villa youngster Jack Dyer could be given his full debut, while fellow midfielder Jimmy Phillips, defender Darren Moore and striker Greg Pearson are also available for recalls.
