....think it will be Albie Armin, Fraser Alexander, Matt Healy and Cameron Humphreys. Plus Bailey Clements as is on edge of first team
Think at least 2 will start - probably Ndaba alongside Armin at the back, or Clements in for Penney, and Humphreys in midfield alongside El Mizouni [Post edited 10 Aug 2021 12:12]

Yes, can see youngsters being used in defence and midfield, where we don't want to risk further injuries in areas where not adequately covered.
Hopefully otherwise its an opportunity for those who didn't get many minutes on Saturday (Bonne, Barry, Dobra etc) or for those who looked as if they need more minutes (Fraser) |  |

I would love to see Matt Healy get a game!! |  |

I'd be surprised if Baggott wasn't involved. Has the physicality to cope with these kind of games. | | | |

Same here, just Whatsapped a few people to say he might be playing tonight |  | | |

Hope you're right about Albie Armin - he looks a great prospect. |  | | |

Already been mentioned that we are going strong hasn’t it?
So unlike last season, the kids will only feature from the bench.
Although Ndaba should start. |  |

I’m not so sure on that. I would imagine that Newport will be reasonably strong tonight. Based on what I saw last season I don’t think he’s anything like ready physically to cope with this level. Would be delighted to be proved wrong on this. | |

Wonder if El Mizouni has any chance of shoving his way ahead of Nolan in the pecking order. |  |

They only lost out on promotion in the play-off final so, on form, are one of League 2's stronger teams. And we've spent the last couple of months painting targets on our shirts and we are now a big prize scalp for the other L1 and L2 clubs. Wold be a tough game for our best squad; if we are playing some younger players it will be so much harder. |  |

Think it will be 8-9 players - only ones I can see staying in the team are Woolf and Donacien | |

I’m expecting a strong team tonight, so less youngsters
Phil suggesting
–––––––Holy
KVY––Ndaba–Wolf–Penney (perhaps Donacien in middle)
––-Harper–evans
Aluko––Dobra/bonne––Barry
––––Norwood
Perhaps Baggot for Wolfenden and humphries for evans?
I would personally get senior players out there, build some confidence into KVY and Wolfenden
Also perhaps Chaplin
But we could be wrong and cook goes with a lot more youth |  |

Yep.
Proper cup team. Think it’s Man City, Spurs, West Ham, Newcastle and Leicester theyve either beaten or given a right game too in the last couple of seasons.
Could easily be banana skin with our best side out. If they’ve got a remotely settled side and we rest the players we will, it could be very tough indeed. | | | |

We've 6 first team forwards who've played less than 15 minutes so far this season, presume that's where the "strong" is going to come from? | |

I'd go with what Phil says.
Not sure bringing in the kids will help with momentum, getting minutes in legs, etc. | |

Doubt there will be too many. Maybe excluding Humprheys, don't think anyone is really that close to first team football from the kids right now. |  |

I'll go something like
------------------------Holy-----------------
Donacien---Woolf---Ndaba---Clements
---------------El Miz---Humphreys------
---Aluko----------Dobra----------Barry---
--------------------Bonne-----------------
Just don't see KVY being risked and that means Donacien has to play there, which means Woolf has to play. Penney got through a lot of work on Saturday.
RIsking Evans or Harper would be suicidal as if either got injured then you are screwed for the away double header next week
Front 4 is 4 changes sticking to 4231, don't see us starting with Bonne and Norwood but could well do at Dobra's expense | |
| |
| Youngsters involved tonight..... on 15:05 - Aug 10 with 1665 views | Nthsuffolkblue |
Surely those most likely to start are Ndaba, El Mizouni and Humphreys. Ward is the only other one who has been involved in the first team at all, isn't he? Didn't Cook say there would be a weakened team but not that weak? I would imagine those first team players who did not get many minutes on Saturday and are not expected to start next weekend will play won't they? |  |

Be interesting to see if El Miz can play that deeper role. Suspect he’ll be excellent if given a bit of time on the ball.
Last time I saw him play, which was a couple of years ago now, he was nowhere near physically imposing enough for that position, but maybe he’s bulked out now. Like you say, think it’s probably a case of anyone except Harper and Evans in there tonight, but maybe El Miz can stake a claim to be one of the 4 in the squad for that position. |  |

When we played Dartford he played that role but was with effectively the U18s so didn't show much - but he must have been injured since then.
He's a very versatile player, if he can show something and play a few games he'll be a real plus for us as may negate need for another signing | |

Let’s hope so - would be a real indication of his quality if he could keep a place in this squad.
We’re a bit like New York at the moment, given the amount of potential competition with new signings - if you can make it here you can make it anywhere. [Post edited 10 Aug 2021 16:03]

It's a shame McGavin is in the bomb squad, as think he'd be ideal to play as one of Evans / Harper's deputies tonight.
Other than that, don't think you'll be too far off with that team - although as Donacien can cover the whole back 4 from the bench, wouldn't mind seeing Burns given a crack at right-back instead. |  |

I would be amazed if we started Harper or Evans. Doubt either will even be in the squad. |  |
