    No just 1 but Norwich had 2 keepers on the bench on Saturday.

    The following is taken from EFL website
    Why can't we utilise Donaldson for this rule ??????



    Club Developed Players

    A Club Developed Player is one who has been registered with an EFL Club for a minimum of 12 months prior to the end of his Under 19 Season.

    From the start of the 2018/19 season, each EFL Club must include at least one Club Developed Player on a team sheet for each Sky Bet EFL Match (including Play Offs). This is in addition to the requirement for at least seven Home Grown Players in those matches.

    Where any club does not name a Club Developed Player on the team sheet, that Club will only be permitted to name up to six (rather than seven) substitutes on that team sheet.

    The Club Developed and Home Grown Player requirements do not apply to Carabao Cup or Checkatrade Trophy Games.

    I think we use the same starting XI as the weekend. It doesn’t sound like Cooke is ready for 90 minutes and he has been a useful player off the bench in the last couple of games so I would use the same approach again. Same for Oteh and Ismali, have them ready on the bench to replace tired legs during the 2nd half.

    Is this why Sykes Kenworthy is back from Guiseley? Or was he due to return anyway?

    Guiseley signed a keeper on season long loan so provided more certainty for them rather than the short term loan GSK was on.

    Cheltenham by far the best home form to date, with 10 points and 12 scored in 4 games.

    Think Bowyer will go slightly more conservative and play a 3 man midfield against this lot.

    Dont mind that if done in moderation. Didnt agree with his tinkering early doors but if thats what he feels we need against a side clearly scoring for fun then so be it. A draw will be ok tonight, backing up from walsall, so aslong as he reverts to type for an attacking formation the home game saturday im happy. 7 points from a weeks footy is more than adequate

    Park the bus, we're always being told how difficult it is to breakdown by present and previous managers ;).

    Fortune favours the brave! Yes,I'm a bit apprehensive
    about this game but if we want success we have to
    work hard and believe we can get another 3 points!

    Being cautious is one thing but talking ourselves down
    is encouraging Cheltenham instead of letting them harbour
    doubts.We can win this,it will be close no doubt but let's be
    positive!

    Same formation with a maybe slight tweak of personnel.

    Don’t agree with going more men in midfield. Get at them out wide, get a lead and then maybe change it later on when we are winning to hold out

    Same formation for me. I would be tempted to get Cooke in to replace Devine. Definitely starting stronger that way. Can imagine Donaldson starting to tire as well, its be good to see what Oteh has to offer at some point, cant see Donaldson playing 3 games in the space of a week

    Just stick with the formation and allow the players to be become accustomed to and grow into their roles.

    Play at a high tempo, get at them and let them worry about our quality rather than camping in and giving them licence to get at us.

    draw tonight, win saturday would be good.

    Very tough game tonight in my eyes, be happy to take a point but even more if its 3.

    Cooke and McCartan getting fitter too which is good news

    Think we might see McCartan or Oteh start tonight, resting Donaldson

    I don't think anyone is advocating parking the bus. Just be a bit sensible against a team who've scored 12 home goals already this season. That said I don't want us to sit back and we should still take the game to them.
