    Sort of see where Jones is going with this one,but don’t know bout starting or playing Brooks in this game obvs could be a hero or if we were to get battered won’t do his confidence any good…in NJ we trust…🙌

    Would have played the first team and given it a good go. Nothing to lose
    Other than potential injuries, tiredness ahead of Saturday and the ending of a really good start to the league season, no nothing to lose really

    Burke not even on the bench - injured or on his way out?

    Putting out the B team. I respect it. 

    Still like the look of the side but slightly surprised to see Koumetio

    Billy is the token 1st team player who started one of the first two matches.

    Perhaps his name was picked out in the draw ?

    Oh wow. Even Brooks is starting.

    Bradley Tagoe on the bench - for those who haven’t seen him, he’s similar to a young TC before he bulked up, but left footed. Has even spent time at wing back.

    Have no issue with a rested side to be honest. If we beat Preston on Saturday then it's a good decision.

    Exactly what I expected lineup wise bar I expected Sichenje at RB not Asiimwe

    I like it. I think Jones really believes that we can make 8th and has a laser-like focus on maximising points in the league.
    Also quite a few of those players need minutes.

    Did the same last year and rotated almost everyone for the Cambridge away game. 

    Worked though as the first team were well rested for the league game on the Saturday; which we lost 3-1 at QPR.

    Club can't win, play the first XI, Leaburn and Bell get crocked, we get spanked 4 nil anyway and you'll all be up in arms about it.

    Just looked on Facebook and team announcement has dozens of comments mainly from Kenyans saying they will smash it!!

    Brooks and Asiimwe are the only real surprises for me although I didn’t expect so many to fully get the night off

    Surprised we ever play the first team considering there's a 100% chance they get injured if they walk onto the pitch.

    Don't mind the front 4. 3 hungry attacking players behind Mbick,  all with points to prove. I reckon they'll cause the Spursy defence problems.

    Bizarre game to give Brookes his debut in though. I can understand playing Mannion if he was available,  but Brookes is the clear 3rd choice keeper.

    Play on the right then, do he?

    Minutes for players who need it is a good reason.

    Minutes for players that won’t be getting anywhere near our first team and may well be leaving anyway? Not so sure.

    Anyway - let’s back them and hopefully they do us proud

    Burke in for Asiimwe and Sichenje to right back would have been my call for that back line

    Leaburn rested because we have no other strikers. Tagoe on the bench taking JRS' spot

    Burke in for Koumetio would have been my call! All about Preston

    Would love to see Mbick get a goal tonight.

    Yeah, when I’ve seen him he’s usually been right wing or left wing back.

    Burke must be injured or offer on him and he can't be risked being such an injury risk 
    Who’s gonna take Burke ??

    But then we lost Godden to a training ground injury. You can't wrap footballers up in cotton wool 24/7.

    Why is the line up a shock to so many on social media !!! Been saying all week once the game was changed we were never going to field a strong line up especially after winning two games in the league …. .. suppose Brooks is a shock but Costello not even getting a start tonight tells you he may be leaving ..

    No Kanu in that squad is a bit of a surprise. Presumably there's an offer on the table if he isn't being risked?

    Is this Doch’s farewell?
