Coulthirst forms a front two with Tom Nichols who is also re-instated after missing Tuesday’s dismal defeat at the hands of MK Dons in the Checkatrade Trophy.

Coulthirst hasn’t featured since the 6-1 home defeat by Norwich City in the Checkatrade Trophy on August 30. He was made available for transfer the following day.
