I wouldn’t risk Woodrow if my life depended on it. Imagine? Woodrow out until Feb after picking up an injury playing Everton U21s. In fact if he plays him on Tuesday he should be sacked.
Woodrow and Fryers need game time so I think they will be involved even if they both come on from the subs bench. It might be a meaningless competition against a team that helped to have make it meaningless but it is still an opportunity to give them game time.
Walton(if fit) J Williams Jackson Pinnock Fryers Thiam Bird Moncur Hedges Adeboyejo Brown Then a raft of under 23’s and Woodrow on the bench
Guessing Jackson’s injured as he didn’t make the bench yesterday. I’d imagine Williams will get a game at right back as Cavare’s played virtually every game except the other cup tie
Wouldn’t play Woodrow, certainly for the first 45 minutes while they get a look at the opposition.Last thing we want is him being crocked by some over enthusiastic Everton wannabe . TBH I’d forfeit if it was possible

He played there in a pre-season friendly. He’s one of the most one footed players I’ve ever seen. If he did a decent job as a central midfielder I’d be amazed
Treat the line up like a piss take full of guys who have played little this season. Walton J Williams, Jackson, Pinnock (no idea who 4th choice CB is) and Fryers. Isgrove (he's back in training so maybe he was saved from the 18 yesterday with this game in mind), Bird, Brown, Hedges Woodrow and Adeboyejo
It's tough because you'd have to balance it right enough for the rules etc. I'd go for: Greatorex (presuming Walton is injured?) J. Williams Jackson (if fit) Lindsay B. Williams Bahre McGeehan Bird Hedges Adeboyejo Brown
We are playing against a reserve team. It would be ironic to be penalised for fielding one ourselves, wouldn't it!
You would sack a manager for selecting one player who in your opinion should not play ? That is a ridiculous to the extreme , why not just trust the head coach & medical team to make the right call on the lad .
