So what does Steve Cooper do, rotate the squad or not? He seems reluctant to change his tired starting line-up and recently results have suffered. With the relentless match scheduling we have to rest some players and after lowly Bristol City beat us with an injury ravaged squad last Saturday it’s time to give the other players a chance.
Kyle Naughton is back from injury to boost the defence, but key central defender Ryan Bennett is still out. Another central defender Brandon Cooper, so successful at Newport on loan, is back from injury too.
Up front we don’t have many options with Jordan Morris and Liam Cullen out for the season. Wayne Routledge is still out injured and is not quite ready to come back. Morgan Whittaker is available and deserves a run out.
