Definitely out: Doyle, O’Brien, Graham, Turner, Tyson, Fitzsimons.
Probably out: Kelly-Evans, Shields.
What I’d play:
Slocombe
Brindley Rawlinson Bird McCrory
Osborne Rose Booty Enzio
Wooton Dennis
Subs: Kean; Bakayogo; Tootle; Crawford; Thomas.
Osborne definitely deserves a chance - did well in his only start and has been lively in the other brief cameos he’s been given. Works hard for the team but also gives us another attacking dimension.
Likewise, Bird has never let us down; we should use all these absences for positive and to give people opportunities. Get Crawford and Tootle back in the squad too for the same reason - what’s the point in ostracising proven players at this level and above when you’re ‘scratching around putting a team together’.
Expect to see: Slocombe; Brindley, Rawlinson, McCrory, Bakayogo; Enzio, Rose, Booty, Shields; Thomas, Wooton.
Subs - Kean, Bird, Dunn, Osborne, Dennis.
