While noises have been made about wanting to progress in this tournament, last season's final was followed by a jaded performance at a struggling Grimsby team, where Rovers were only able to take a point. With hindsight, that game felt like a turning point, as Rovers were unable to convert games in hand through our progress in this competition into points on the board. So fairly indifferent as to how we fare this season, though a win's a win regardless.
It will be very interesting to see how Micky lines us up for this game. I don't know anything about Leeds youth, but suspect any side with Bielsa at the helm with be a little more robust than some of the relative lightweight U21s we've met previously. We'll find out on the night.
Unless we play the youth keeper, which is unlikely, Doohan starts. Defensively, we don't have that much cover in central defence, so unless Maguire or O'Connor slot in, then 2 of the 3 regulars start with Clarke most likely to be rested. In central midfield Spearing is likely to be stood down, up front who knows, though given Glatzel is familiar with this kind of opponent, it might be a confidence-booster to start him. so maybe something like this;
Doohan
O'Connor Davies NKP Merrie
Feeney Foley Duffy Hawkes
Glatzel Walker/Dieseruvwe
