    I think we've all forgotten about this game tonight :)

    Maybe a run out for the new lad at right back, and some game time for Evans?

    Struggling to justify forking out a tenner to watch it

    Bit surprised Stuart wants to play the kids again tonight. I would've thought that considering we haven't played in 10 days and don't play until Monday night it would be a strong side to build up some sharpness.

    I wouldn't risk many of the first team tonight. We cant afford any injuries in such a meaningless game.
    Will not be spending £10 to watch this either.

    There are many ways I will support City financially but, whilst there are Premier under 21 teams in this competition, I will continue to boycott these Trophy matches.

    However, I do see it as a useful 'practice' match for Stuart, to give a run out to certain players.

    I would have gone under normal circumstances.
    I do think the pitch will get cut up tonight though.

    If Stuart uses a few youngsters I won't be bothered.
    It will give him an idea of who is progressing and may
    step up to first team if injuries and suspensions occur.

    These matches are pretty pointless as the fans don't care
    but playing them with that attitude probably will result
    in losing and that ain't good at any level to build confidence.

    There is prize money to play for, if we are skint then don’t throw the game playing a weak team. If money is no issue then fair enough. Personally I would play a strong team as we will be undercooked going into the next game. I remember when we were relegated and had an amazing run through December to start of January then we had two weeks off and looked appalling for the rest of the season, they’d only be training if not playing anyway.

    With no game last weekend I think we’d be silly to chuck the kids in. Surely this is an opportunity to play the strongest 11 to keep them building the match fitness and get a big win?

    Probably frightened that wolves will do what Huddersfield kids did to us second half in preseason.

    It’s part of my season subscription. Seeing as I’m pretty sure I didn’t get a refund for Saturdays cancelled game, I might as well get my monies worth and watch this one!

    Strange team. AOC needs minutes after suspension. Evans too. And not even filling the bench? May as well have stuck a few more kids on.

    Very unusual team selection with what looks like players playing out of normal roles, Interesting to see if it works

    Highlights how few viable options we have up front. I know its not going to happen, but in my opinion we need 2 strikers, never mind the 1 we are struggling to get in.
