Midfielder Flynn Downes is expected to feature for the U23s when they take on Coventry City at Playford Road this afternoon (KO 1pm).

Strikers Ben Morris and Ben Folami and defender Luke Woolfenden are also likely to be in Gerard Nash’s side, who are currently fourth in the Professional Development League Two South table, five points off the top with a game in hand.

The Sky Blues are one place and two points ahead of Town having played the same number of matches.

In September at the Alan Higgs Centre, Coventry hosted the Blues and won 2-1, New Zealand international Monty Patterson netting Town's goal.

U23s: Hayes, D Crowe, Clements, Downes, Woolfenden, Webber, Morris, Blanchfield, Folami, Patterson, McKendry. Subs: Daniels, Wright, McLoughlin (c), Dobra, Ndaba.

Coventry: Bilson, Kelsy-Evans, Camwell, Hickman, Thompson, Ford, Stedman, Burroughs, Finn, Syoud, L Green. Subs: S Green, White, Rowe, Johnson.

Currie10 added 12:11 - Dec 18 So what's the story with Downes considering numerous CM out and Bru in the squad, good enough or not yet? Could he do with a loan spell out?

Pilgrimblue added 18:23 - Dec 18 Downes is good enough but with Skuse and now Connolly ahead of him in defensive role he's not getting a chance. Don't really agree with Bru ahead of him though as he wasn't in Mick's plans.
