Tricky - especially if a very inexperienced team is used.
2-1 to Rovers.
We REALLY need to be out of this thing. After sat, we will be 2 games behind the rest of the division. We know now that the Sat game vrs Blackpool (which was put in for the FA Cup 2nd round weekend) is now going to be put back. We dont need a fixture pile up. For an absolute nothing trophy. We have one very very simple agenda this season. Go up!! Nothing else matters. Don't risk Nuttall, as we now need him for the first team!! 2 goals in about 40 mins playing time tells me that. Or any of the bit part players. They are now needed for very important league games coming up. The scary part is, we now have no Chapman. Its likely we wont see him again. Which is a massive loss. We are so think on the ground, and investing in quite alot of money watching us home and away I don't want us to risk a play off place so we can advance and play Stoke City's under 23 side in front of 153 people. As it would make no sense whatsover. Going for promotion however ...........
Champs - the end of your post has got cut off.
It sounds as if Mowbray is going to use several youngsters. I suspect Nuttall will be in the team, if only to see how he performs over 90 minutes. We have six first-team players definitely out, anyway.
We might see Caddis and Ward in the back four for experience, along with Wharton. I wonder if TM will give Hart another chance at left-back or if he'll have a look at Doyle.
I think Tomlinson will definitely feature.
As you say, going out would not be a disaster, so we might as well try some of the Under-23s.
