Forbes boost for Gillingham trip

Forbes missed the 1-0 win over Southend through illness but was fit enough to be introduced as a 69th-minute substitute for Scott Murray as the Glovers drew 1-1 at home to Charlton on Saturday. Striker Dean Bowditch (shoulder) made another appearances from the bench as he continues to gain more match-time following his winning goal against Southend. As anticipated, on-loan Swansea and Wales Under-21 midfielder Shaun MacDonald returned to the starting XI after recovering from a thigh injury.
