Norwood and Trialist Guthrie Start at Notts County
Tuesday, 23rd Jul 2019 18:24

Friday’s hat-trick hero James Norwood and trialist Jon Guthrie start this evening’s friendly away against Notts County (KO 7pm).

Norwood, who grabbed his first Blues treble at Colchester on Friday, lines up alongside Kayden Jackson, who netted twice after coming off the bench against the U's.

Guthrie, who TWTD revealed was training with the Town squad yesterday, starts alongside Luke Woolfenden at the centre of the defence.

Josh Emmanuel and Tristan Nydam are set to be the full-backs with Cole Skuse back after his hip problem in central midfield along with Idris El Mizouni. Luke Garbutt is likely to be on the left with Armando Dobra on the right. Bartosz Bialkowski is in goal against his former club.

The Blues’ other trialist, former Lincoln man James Wilson, is on a bench which is reduced in number from previous games down to eight. Emyr Huws and Andre Dozzell are also among the subs.

Notable absentees - in addition to those currently sidelined or on their way back from injury - are skipper Luke Chambers, Myles Kenlock and Jordan Roberts. Chambers and Kenlock are likely to have been rested having played the full 90 minutes at Colchester.

Town: Bialkowski, Emmanuel, Woolfenden, Guthrie, Nydam, Skuse, El Mizouni, Dobra, Garbutt, Jackson, Norwood. Subs: Holy, Downes, Dozzell, Clements, Rowe, Wilson, Ndaba, Huws.

leftie1972 added 18:39 - Jul 23 Sounds like a good balance of experience and youth, just the sort of team most people on here want to see! The doubters will now get to see if Guthrie is any good or not.

Len_Brennan added 18:43 - Jul 23 Pleased to see Norwood & Jackson get a start together. If they get a good understanding, they could develop into a decent partnership, with different strengths. Another goal or 2 for Jackson would be good for his confidence.
