Team for u21 Premier League Cup vs. Leicester this afternoon.

ROVERS: Fisher, Nyambe, Askew, Petshi, Lavelle ©, Wharton, Mahoney, Rankin-Costello, Forrester, Jackson, Thomson

SUBS: Crump (gk), Tanner, Carson, Green, Mansell

Probably safe to say none of these will be involved tonight.

Hardcastle is cup tied after playing for Salford City.

I'd never let Kilgallon pull on the blue and white halves again after his 'efforts" on Saturday frankly. Get rid this window and get someone younger hungrier and cheaper in.

Rhodes badly needs a couple of goals to restore his confidence imo. Theoretically he wont get a better chance. I'd either continue with him and Brown up front or pair him with Jackson and attempt to play the ball to feet more.

Generally I'd play the very strongest team possible. We need to build a bit of momentum again from somewhere. Conversely if there is a disaster, they should be the ones to take the fall.

It was Kilgallons first 90 minutes in the league in about 10 months and first appearance for months since injury. He was a mess for the goal but didn't think the was that bad. Considering he was touted as our best CH by some last year (he wasn't , that was Baptiste) , we have no experience to play alongside Hanley and we may be in a similar situation for forthcoming league games (in our relegation battle, not dead rubbers), I would personally play him.

I'd also play Rhodes but I think Lambert will use it as an opportunity to look at what happens without him.

A huge, huge match.

IMV, we have to win tonight for the future of our club - it's that simple.

The consequences of a loss tonight and a loss on Saturday at Charlton are unthinkable.

I'm going for a Rovers' win by 3 or 4 goals to 1 with Newport finding Brown and Rhodes to be unplayable.

I think PL has to be brave and try a different formation. Dont think 441 or 442 is getting the best out the players we have at the minute. We need to find ways of playing higher up the pitch and getting players closer to the forwards. We cant keep picking the same team and formation thats constantly failing and suddenly expect a miracle

Mercer we could not score 3/4 against a bunch of school kids. Why do you always have to tempt fate?

Look, it's what I believe will happen.

Got Rovers' win at 5/6 and 4-1 at 40/1.

Newport sit 20th in League two, have just lost their manager to Oldham and are on what looks like a bad run. I hope you are right but whatever there are no excuses tonight we need to step up and win.

Beat the mighty York away this weekend. A similar level of performance might be enough to see us off.

Jackson isn't eligible as he wasn't signed before the original date.

433 perhaps? Have Marshall and Conway pushed further up alongside Rhodes and have Lenihan, Evans and Akpan in the middle.

Bennett played a lot at right back for Bristol City - wondering whether its worth him slotting in there to see how he gets on as having a more creative player like Marshall at RB isn't ideal.

Wouldn't mind Brown playing, as he will certainly provide the fight needed. Plus, a goal will do him the world of good.

However, I doubt he can start after playing the full 90 on Saturday.

where abouts are you?

If you are as far as Worcester follow the diversion off the motorway but take the A449 to Ledbury then on to Ross on Wye. From there head south on the dual carriageway ( starts off as a40 ) which goes all the way to the M4
