Not sure if its 5 from previous game or max 5 changes. include those coming back from suspension and injury, plus a few fringe players,Mentioned elsewhere but would expect to Sims/Fojticek, Mitchell, Howe, Thorniley, Lubala, Kemp, Antwi and Robson involved and if Sarkic and Anderson are sufficiently recovered they may get a few minutes.
I'd love to see Bange, Holmes and Apter in the squad.
There are some limitations though.
I quite like that but I'd rest Maxwell and replace Turts with Howe.Maxwell

In a meaningless cup game three days after our first XI went a full 90 there is absolutely no point in playing more than a couple of players from our best XI.
The important thing now is resting players and getting the whole squad healthy and I think Wednesday could be a good opportunity to bring in some players from the youth team like Bange or Holmes to not only get them time, but to show that there is a path to the first team from the youth academy.
Understandable, but I had Maxwell and Turton in there in order to fulfill the EFL's rules about how many first XI players were supposed to put in the team.I quite like that but I'd rest Maxwell and replace Turts with Howe.
Think the minimum quota refers to outfield players only.Understandable, but I had Maxwell and Turton in there in order to fulfill the EFL's rules about how many first XI players were supposed to put in the team.
Maxwell shouldn't be too fatigued from Sunday and I have no problem playing Turton again on Wednesday because he's not our first choice RB, but wouldn't mind seeing Howe get minutes.
I would have thought Robson is a definite starter in midfield. It is whether or not he rests Kenny, or gives him more match fitness, as there is a good break following the Leeds game!If Antwi doesnt play in this then he should have gone out on loan
Maxwell needs replacing as Captain now we have alternatives.No change of goalkeeper, Maxwell needs the game time to perfect his captaincy
I'd also like to see Maxwell rested. You'd probably see how Ballard stands alongside either the Viking or Ekpiteta and we have scant options up front and so would probably play Madine or Yates, maybe start Hamilton or Kaikai with a bit of pace and Dougall still needs a bit more game time and so that would be my four.I quite like that but I'd rest Maxwell and replace Turts with Howe.
Ward up top?!?!?!?!Fortisomething
Howe Gretarrson Ballard Mitchell
Kemp Robson Dougall Luballa
Ward Yates
Edit to add I'd play Woodburn if he is available probably in place of Luballa and then push Luballa up front inlace of Yates
I reckon that would suit him, didn't he used to play off a striker?Ward up top?!?!?!?!
Woodburn isn’t availableSims
Gabriel Turton Gretarsson Mitchell
Kemp Robson Antwi Woodburn
Madine Yates
It's very simple really! don't pay for it as you more than likely would not have attended anyway with that negative attitude.Tenner to watch, bit much for nothing game of reserves!
