Rumours of Boro putting out a weakened squad. I wouldn't normally fancy this team against a Warnock side, but if they're putting out younger (potentially less physical) players, we stand a better chance. 0-2 Debut goal for Isaac Christie-Davies, Frieser to redeem himself for Saturday with the second.
Win for us if it's not the usual Boro team otherwise a win for Boro. Why is Warnock playing a weaker team?
To be honest, it was only something I read on here yesterday, so whether it happens or not is anyone's guess.
1-0 to either side or 0-0 and penalties. I’d be surprised if there was more than one goal in it, unless there are one or more vastly weakened teams
2-0 boro. We’ll make changes to see if certain players are up to it in a competitive game that means very little. We’ll have lots of the ball but create nothing and have two defensive lapses including one from a set piece. My crystal ball also tells me that Helik will make his debut, Big Vic will play and there will be a place in the squad for Miller.
The 'EFL Cup' always makes me imagine an EDL Cup. 'The Rotherham Racists were tonight defeated on penalties by the Burnley Bigots, by a score of 4 union jacks to 3.'
