BRIAN HUGHES is in experimental mood ahead of Cirencester's clash with Gresley.

With the Centurions safely tucked in mid-table, Hughes feels the time is right to tinker with his team in preparation for a possible promotion charge next season.

The Ciren boss played Ben Fitch as a lone striker in the 1-1 draw at Stourport last week, with Gareth Hopkins and Keith Knight in withdrawn roles.

Hughes is keeping his cards close to his chest, but another tactical change is imminent tomorrow.

"We will be looking to do something else again against Gresley," he said.

"At this stage we're not going up and we're not going down, so we can try some new things different formations and players with a view to next season."

Darren Robison will be incorperated in whatever formation Hughes choses, after returning from a one-match ban.

Nick Beaverstock misses out with an ankle injury, but goalkeeper Mark Hervin seems set to stay put after resisting overtures from Chippenham.
