Had a glance at that Scunthorpe team and they have a few of decent players. If we assume our u21s are somewhere around conference level (judging off loans; crompton to telford, caden kelly to darlington etc) then this will be a good test. Callum Roberts, former Mag who has been prolific at non-league level. No doubt he would enjoy scoring tonight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callum_Roberts_(footballer) Another prolific striker, has 38 in 76 according to wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Whitehall Bean-pole striker from Sunderland, think he was at our academy at junior level, can also play in defence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Beck 22-year-old Scunthorpe lad fresh off a 4 year spell at Celtic where he was very prolific in their youth and reserve teams, bit of a coup for them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_Dawson I wonder what team we'll play? Rusyn, Ba, Pembele, Poveda etc or more of a Bainbridge, Tutierov, Ogusuyi etc type lineup.
On Matete, he is now in the last year of his contract so I wouldn't expect to see him go on loan again, we'll be looking to recoup any sort of fee we can.
How many subs can be named in the Premiership? 7 or 9 is it? Match day squads usually include a 3rd keeper and 2 or 3 outfielders who aren't namedon the bench, in the case of warm up injuries etc.
