We have 19 contracted senior professional players, 5 loanees and 7 development players.
Last Saturday Paul Simpson said that the 18 on match day duty were the only ones available.
For the Cup match against Tranmere Rovers it seems likely that up to 3 senior players from
last Saturday will be out of the match. It is possible that 2 of the unavailable players from last
Saturday could return but will they be totally 'at it'?

I have a deep foreboding about this FA Cup match. We are out of the League Cup and EFL Trophy
with just £10,000 in prize money. The winning clubs in this round each get £41,000 and can dream
of reaching round 3 to be drawn away at Manchester United. This Tranmere match is financially
crucially important and we go into it barely able to put out an 18 at all, regardless of quality.
