If Hinds plays on the right, Damien Delaney is expected to move into the centre of defence to partner Justin Whittle. Andy Holt or Steve Burton will come in at left-back, with first choice Andy Dawson unlikely to be risked. He has only played 45 minutes of reserve team football since injuring his knee in pre-season, but may be deemed fit enough for a place on the bench.
Jason Price is another injury worry for Taylor. He has an ankle knock, and could sit it out tonight.
Taylor said: "Jason has been one our most effective players this season but if his ankle is not 100 per cent he won't play - it's a simple as that. If you take a gamble, there's the danger of missing three of four weeks and that's the last thing we want."
Stuart Green would be expected to move onto the right-wing with Dean Keates coming into central midfield.
Taylor may land loan goalkeeper Michel Kuipers with a surprise start. Alan Fettis is still out for a couple of weeks, and Paul Musselwhite could be dropped to give the Brighton custodian his Hull City debut.
Expected line-up (4-4-2): Kuipers; Hinds, Whittle, Delaney, Holt; Green, Ashbee, Keates, Elliott; Burgess, Allsopp.
Subs: Musselwhite, Wiseman, Dawson, Melton, Forrester.
