Gillingham v Bournemouth

GILLINGHAM manager Neale Cooper is still considering his attacking options ahead of Saturday's match against Bournemouth at Priestfield. .

Paul Shields seems likely to make his first start since signing from Forfar with Matt Jarvis joining the Scottish striker up-front.

Jarvis and Shields were paired together for the final 20 minutes at Scunthorpe.

New loan-signing Moses Ashikodi may have to settle for a place on the bench as Cooper looks to soften the blow of Darren Byfield’s suspension and the news that Danny Spiller is struggling with a persistent ankle injury.

Cooper stressed: “Bournemouth have started well but we’ve got to take advantage of being at home and cause them problems."
