Town have named the reserve side facing Coventry City at Nuneaton Borough's Manor Park this evening (KO 7pm). As expected, loanee Jimmy Juan is the only senior player in a side otherwise made up of academy youngsters.

Keeper Shane Supple is included having recovered from a heel problem. Scott Barron, on his way back after a groin operation, is on the bench.

Midfielder Dean McDonald is also in the starting line-up. The 18-year-old is expected to be offered a contract until the end of the season this week. McDonald, a former Arsenal trainee, has been on trial with the Blues since before Christmas and has impressed in U18 and reserve matches.

Reserves: Shane Supple, Scott Mitchell, James Krause, Ben Patten, Aidan Collins, Jerrome Sobers, Liam Manning, Jimmy Juan, Billy Clarke, Dean McDonald, Owen Garvan. Subs: Chris Casement, Adem Atay, Daniel Flack, Scott Barron, Cathal Lordan, Danny Haynes.
