L 4-3 vs Blackburn Rovers (A) - League Cup, Tue 8th August, 7:45pm

DJ should start. He won’t but he should.

Yeah, he could get injured, we have had players have all kinds of injuries when not playing like Mantom falling down a hatch while on holiday. You can’t wrap players up in cotton wool. As you mentioned he has missed friendlies and didn’t play much football the second half of last season.

Besides, we shouldn’t disrespect this cup or the fans who are travelling to watch it.

Make no mistake this would be one of the biggest shocks in recent Caribou Cup history if we were to go there and turn them over. A side two divisions above us who finished far higher up their league than we did and with home advantage. I back us to go up there tonight and give a really good account of ourselves but unless we catch Blackburn on an off day and/or get a bit of lady luck we are ultimately likely to come up a bit short. A win though could really kick start Sadlers reign and give us a huge boost after the disappointment of the weekend.

TBF he looked leaner and fitter on Saturday than he did last season.
Not sure he should play tonight though

ESPN+ in the US is only showing the Hull city game and you guessed it Wrexham.

He’ll definitely rest DJ and Hutchinson. Possibly Gordon and Evans and maybe Oteh.

All players who will definitely play Saturday and would’ve missed tonight no matter what last Saturdays result.

I’d suggest parking quickly if you’re going - traffic is horrendous around the stadium approach already.

It must be the travelling gate!
