That's my worry, coupled with the other cup games once the papa Johns kick in. It's one of the reasons I wanted one of the big boys in the Carabao cup at home, 'big crowd but a valiant defeat and focus on the league'.
Think with the squad we have plus any new additions (based upon Prehabs latest message that significant bids in) I think LJ will welcome the cup matches to give fringe players a run out.

I don't disagree, but in the first few cup games, Doyle, Stewart, Neil and Embo have all came on. Not sure I'd be risking them tbh. They would be nowhere near a papa Johns game, which starts soon.

After the Blackpool game can anyone be called a "fringe" player? They are all busting a gut to be on that pitch and give 100%.

And they now know they are in with a shot of getting into the first team squad. They had no chance of doing that under Parky, no matter how well they played.

Wright hasn’t been involved for a while with Australia iirc. Maybe they’ve got injuries. Very surprised Flanagan wasn’t called up for N Ireland, he’s started the season well.
Flanno is a strange omission imo. He has been called up before when his form for us was a lot worse than it is now. He has had an excellent start to the season
 
I might be tempted to head to Sheffield for this even though it will be on a weekday as it’s only an hour or so away. Just depends how expensive it is and whether or not I feel like I could survive a ten hour shift the next day on about 5 hours sleep.
