This team has just been put together , they need as much playing time as possible to gel into the unit required to get promotion.
If we play the same team and win tomorrow it would produce huge confidence for Saturday.
One or 2 changes maybe but not the complete team.

Do we know if Duckens has been given clearance by Wolves to play on Tuesday.
Interesting that his twitter comment yesterday suggested he is here for the season.
The club suggested until Jan 1st but would be great to have tied him into the whole season.
Thanks for clarity.He has since corrected this to state that he is here until January
My ticket is FREE . :happy:just purchased my tickets, it was 12 pound not 10?!
Knew it was a tin pot Cup.We can play who we want, this is the League Cup not the Checkatrade.
All of us want to see a strong team put out. But.....I'd like us to field a strong team, winning breeds confidence especially this early in a season and after all we can draw a big side in the next round and have a nice game to look forward too.

We have more than 11 players. We need to rotate a bit. Otherwise when injuries and suspensions happen we will be bringing in rusty and players not match fit. We need to rest players with niggles/bruising when we can. We have more than 11 capable players.
It would be nice to have a cup run. But lets be realistic. We won't win it. I would be happy to win the first two rounds and go out in the 3rd round to a big club after putting in a good performance. I won't even mind going out before then if we play well against a team in a higher division. It is going to be a long, hard and demanding season as it is. Getting promotion is top priority. And from what we have seen so far we have a good chance.
I can't disagree. Like I said I would like a good draw in the 3rd round. But we have just covered half a mile of a marathon.Yeah I agree we will never win it but I'd like a good early run ending with a game against a big club if anything for the kids.
Kids see the big named clubs on sky sports, BT sport and let's be honest it's been a while since we've had a glamour tie so one for the kids would be nice to see, granted some of the big names won't play but the talk of a Utd, City, Liverpool or Leeds and Newcastle who would sell out there allocations coming to the Ricoh would create a early buzz while reigning further interest in the fan base in the city of the back of a Wembley final not too long ago.
It keeps that next generation of fans interested a little and part time fans
On the rotation side of this I agree to a degree, consistency is more key for me as partnerships and understanding's are formed
Also the U23 games will be starting up again soon so all will get that chance to play at some point but there's not many I'd say would be a first team starters that are currently "fit" that are not starting already for games in August.
I'm missing tonight as I stupidly double booked myself and I can't really amend it now.
I think Blackburn will be too strong (if TM plays his best team) but strangely enough I am not too bothered. Obviously I want to win, but this season the focus has to be on the league. I don't want to risk any of our better players getting injured in a competition we have no chance to progress in (at least in the latter stages).
Referring to 'limited squad'!Huh !!
Appreciate we have 2 potential teams but that is not the point we are making.
I can see us getting a bit of a hiding3 or 4 nil.
Hope I'm wrong though.
Lincoln were playing against semi pro's at times. Their budget was massive for where they were. And they put a good squad together with it. They would struggle to do the same this season.Last season, Lincoln got to 1/4 final in fa cup, semi final in fa trophy and won promotion. Squad wasn't as big as ours. I just don't buy this we need to concentrate on the league shit!! Winning is s habit that breeds confidence, season has just started play 8/9 of the same side let's get consistency going. Make teams think twice about coming to the Ricoh and "going for it"
Your missing the point, the squad wasn't as big as ours yet they competed in 3 competitions. Not just concentrated on the league. Plus I think you will find only 2 or 3 sides are non professional in that leagueLincoln were playing against semi pro's at times. Their budget was massive for where they were.
