Malcolm seems the next cab off the rank which is harsh on Cleary but I hope he’s on the bench at least
Button
Ingram. Kelly. Ajayi. Ashworth
Livermore. TGH
Grady. Rogic. Reach
Grant/Malcolm
Love to smash these after their antics in the first leg but can see it being another tough night given the changes we have to make with Burnley 72 hours later

Depends whether CC really cares about staying in the Cup. Button and Kelly shouldn't play, but will if he's keen to keep the first choice players fit for Friday night.
I'm sure Livermore will play, but if he doesn't have Molumby or TGH alongside him we're screwed. The Livermore effect is remarkable - it sucks the energy out of our players and creates acres of space for the opposition in front of our defence. Only his Obi Wan Kenobi powers of persuasion have prevented successive managers from seeing this.
If Grant isn't fit, it will be interesting to see who gets a game up front.

Its unfortunate that we play Burnley of all sides, 3 days later. For me we need to rest a few on Tuesday. Realistically, we should still have enough to overcome a non league side at home. That's not arrogance, it is simply fact, if our fringe players can't win the game we may as well be knocked out anyway.

Be interesting to see who gets the nod out of those that you mention. I like Jovan but it’s hard to fathom how he would be selected ahead of Cleary. I expect a very tricky match, they’re a very able outfit

I think Jovan Malcolm is more physically ready and has had plenty of experience out on loan.
Cleary, whilst obviously capable and a natural goalscorer seem way off it in terms of his footballing brain and stamina.
