Tricky at the back so expect rose to play some part. Also dacosta likely to play and I would imagine maatsen

Then you’ve got to imagine Walker and Jones will come in

Team I expect

Wilson
Dacosta
Drysdale
Rose captain
An other
Maatsen
Hawley
An other
Bright
Walker
Tavares

Assuming... Godden and Kelly are not fit, Jones not ready for a start.

But to be fair Robins often puts out a stronger lineup than we expect for these sort of games.

I would go along with that side, unless Bright is available.

Same team as against Forest, players need game time and Mark Robins has said it's a game he wants to win.

Gonna be an U23s side isn’t it? :(

If the club don’t care about this game neither do I. Hope Bright gets some minutes and does some nice skill I can see on the highlights.

Tbh I don't find seeing how our second string get on as depressing as I used to. Most those players would be in our starting line ups in the league 2/most of the league 1 days.

I just don’t think our squad is that deep and it usually just hands a win to a lower league team who want it more.

Its not deep in terms of Championship quality but I think most the line ups mentioned above beat all of league 2 and a good 2/3rds of league 1 teams, if the players are up for it as you say. I'd expect us to get past Northampton.

Harsh on Shipley and Jones however for me they are both AM’s and we only play one of them. I really don’t like Shipley in one of the holding midfielder positions. Wouldn’t mind seeing Jones at LWB but don’t think that will ever be his permanent position.

Would like to see Waghorn play next to Walker. Hope we don’t do what we did in pre season and isolate Walker up there on his own.

i think he will isolate walker and go with two 10s just to get minutes in to Jones and Bright, i really like walker and think in 2he will be great for us but dont think he works as a one.

If Reid can’t get in ahead of Shipley at LWB for the reserves he may as well head back to Scotland now.

Not far off I'd say
But expect more senior guys on the bench as we want to get through to the next round and have a run in this cup if possible

Although Jones needs minutes no doubt, I'd keep him on the bench for this one, and give him another 30 mins or so. No point risking him against a lower league team, when he's still coming back

Doubt it'll be on ifollow - that's usually just league games right?

If we aren’t going first team we should go 4231 as we’ve got no CBs and loads of AMs.

Wilson

Just hope they’ve got no wingers.
