My line up prediction based on the need to rest players, particularly the younger ones for Saturday. I could see why some might want a stronger team but I think it'd be foolish to risk any key players in a cup game, shows the need to bring in 2 or 3 more players before the window closes. Flavell Watson-Barratt-Shepherd-Woodcock Kelly-Russell Cleary-Graham-Farrugia Farrell Subs Ravenhill Senior Kozluk Yoganathan Atkinson Vickers Alker
I remember when we signed Farrugia a fan from his previous club said he’s okay if he can stay injury free and since we’ve signed him he’s struggling to do that.
I’d make 4 or 5 changes max. Mainly giving some of the subs starts. But I think it’s really important to win just to keep the run going. I’d move Bland into midfield. Give Watson or Barratt a go a right back. Maybe play Shepherd in central defence. Starts for Kelly, Cleary and Russell. Maybe give Flavell a go in goal. Farugia to to be involved in some form if fit. Give McGoldrick a rest. Put a few kids (Farrell, Woodcock, Graham, etc) on the bench and give them minutes if the game’s going ok.
Connor confirmed in his presser after the game that Farrugia is back next week so we may see him in the Fleetwood game.
A smashed face into the wall at Harrogate. I'd not include in injury prone tbh. Unless he's picked summat up since. ?
