Both bosses involved in this evenings JPT first round tie will not make too many changes; one is pleased with the way things are going, the other has some players returning from injury. Sturrock: 'We will be going all out to beat Gillingham' The Shrimpers manager Paul Sturrock will field a strong side against Gillingham in Tuesday evening's JPT first round tie against Gillingham at Roots Hall.Former Gills right-back Sean Clohessy serves a one-match suspension after being sent off at Bradford City on Friday. Josh Simpson is therefore likely to revert to right-back, with Louie Soares or Adam Bouzid playing on the wide right. Luggy is continuing to chat to Chris Barker and the Pilgrims about extending his loan spell, while Mark Phillips (hamstring) and Scott Spencer (back) face late fitness checks to see if they can make the team.Sturrock told www.southendunited.co.uk: "I won't be making many changes," he confirmed. It's important the players continue to develop an understanding. Also, I would like to win the Trophy, so we will be going all out to beat Gillingham." Hessenthaler: 'We may give the big man (Akinfenwa) a rest'Gills boss Andy Hessenthaler is set to keep Cody McDonald and Barry Fuller in the side as they continue to improve their match fitness after missing the start of the season through injury.John Nutter, Mark McCammon, Luke Rooney, Josh Gowling, Stefan Payne, and ex-captain Kevin Maher may all get some game time.Hessenthaler spoke to www.kentonline.co.uk: "I've never been to this Wembley and it would be lovely to lead a team out there. I may make two or three changes. We've got McCammon coming back from injury and he may well get a start or Stefan Payne could. We will use it as an opportunity to change it around. Cody will get another game and so will Barry but we may give the big man (Akinfenwa) a rest."Andy played at the old Wembley in 2000 where the Gills triumphed in the play-off final.
