Will be relatively strong tonight. Burroughs, Howley, Dausch and Obikwu are all playing for the U21s away at QPR.

Means either Thomas or MVE have to play.

Would guess

Dovin
MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Eccles Allen
Tats Palmer EMC
Simms

JDS for Bidwell.
Kitching for Binks.
Lats for Milan.
Asante for Simms.
Tavares for Tatsu

Bench
Wilson, Binks, Simms, Wright, Bidwell, Milan, Tatsu, Eccles, Andrews.

That's with one eye on Friday as well. Where id expect Binks, Milan, Bidwell, Eccles, Tatsu, Wright and Simms to start..

If they’re not fit enough to play 3 games in a week at the start of the season the conditioning coach needs firing. Nobody did much running on Saturday so they should be fine. We have a couple of months of only 1 game a week after Friday


I was taking the piss, I've got no idea of tonight's side

We have a big enough squad now to make changes and still field a championship quality side.

We have a dreadful record in this competition and should look to win the game and try and kick start the season after Saturday

Always think it’s unfair to the 2,500 fans who have made the trip to then field a weakened team. Oh well, MR knows best.

He can replace a lot of players from Saturday and still have a strong team. Palmer and Dasilva you would hope would be up for it against their former club, Kitching should start, Assante should play as well. The only area we have no actual cover for is MVE

Just checked...


You need to start 4 outfield players who have either played 40+ games, were in the starting 11 last week or will end the season in the top 10 appearance list for the club.

A few names may not hit that requirement. Taveres, DaSilva and Kitching? Has Lati made 40 appearances?

Where did you check that? Those requirements seem a bit bizarre given that we won't know until May which players will be amongst the top 10 appearances over the season, by which time its too late to do anything about it.

My guess at the team would be someting like:
Wilson
MVE or Lati, Lati or Thomas, Kitching, Da Silva
Eccles Palmer Andrews
Tavares, BTA, Wright

By the requirements you set out MVE/ Thomas, Lati, Eccles, Palmer & Wright have all played over 40 games which would see us ok.

Nakhi Wells will be starting I should think so there’s at least one goal for them. Feel like he’s scored a few against us in the past.

Judging by the first half performance on Saturday, I'd imagine most players were saving themselves for tonight.
