John Pemberton had been planning on naming a strong line-up at the Manor Ground to give some first-team players who have not been involved a run out.

On Monday he said: “I want to see the players that have not been playing because the chances are we going to need them.

“I want to get some minutes down them and see where they all are and get a feel for the group because to be fair they have trained really well.”

He added: “The training has been quite intense because I felt it needed to be and I have spoken to the players and they are happy with that.

“I am not just putting the kids out it is the players who I want to call on and potentially be able to use.”
