Summary
Having won all 3 games in a group consisting of Wolves u21s, Stockport and Wigan, it might be fair to assume that Salford have an appetite to do well in this competition. Obviously a lot will depend on the strength of the team they decide to play against us, making the outcome a tricky one to call. One thing to note is that Salford play again on Friday night in the FA Cup against Leyton Orient so some squad rotation seems inevitable on their part.

Likewise for us, I think we all know that MH will ring the changes tonight. It will be interesting to see how we line-up but whoever we start with hopefully we have enough quality to win the game and progress to the next round. Some silverware in our centenary year would be most welcome.

Enjoy the game, UTM.
Thanks for this pal.

It will be a cold one but I'm off to see the lads tonight and shout them on.

Love it or loathe it, it's a cup/trophy there to be won and we've done it twice so why not a third time?

Big changes throughout the team tonight and something tells me T. Holmes will start and all through December. Should he break down again before January then he'll be another one sent back, we don't want to be carrying dead wood as we press on towards the end of the season. Stable lad tells me Sherif and Etete have gone already, good.

Don't know what anyone else thinks, but for me this League is wide open this season. No reason why, when we get back the likes of Nombe and recruit reasonably well in January we can't make a push for the play offs.

Onwards and upwards, UTM!
