Jordan Thorniley was also missing for the second game running, while Marvin Ekpiteta, Charlie Goode, Liam Bridcutt, Kevin Stewart, Tom Trybull, Shayne Lavery, Jake Beesley and Gary Madine all remain sidelined.
It’s difficult to predict what Dobbie will do, but he’s preferred to play a 4-3-3 system while taking charge of the development squad this season.
With that in mind, here’s how the Seasiders are predicted to line-up at Kenilworth Road...

2. GK - Dan Grimshaw
It's impossible to know what Dobbie is thinking, but surely it's time to bring Grimshaw back? Chris Maxwell could do with a break after Friday's debacle. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
3. RB - Andy Lyons
Having harshly been dropped on Friday, Lyons deserves to reclaim his place at right-back. Constantly coming in and out of the side can't be helping. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
4. CB - Curtis Nelson

5. CB - Jordan Thorniley
Thorniley attended Friday's game but wasn't selected. Assuming he's recovered from his kidney infection he should come straight back in. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
6. LB - James Husband
Hubby didn't have his best game on Friday at centre-back, but he should be preferred to Dom Thompson at left-back if Thorniley is back. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
