GOALKEEPER James Walker, midfielder Mark Noble and defenders Trent McClenahan and Tommy Laws return to Kevin Keen's Reserve team for tonight's clash with Leicester City at Kettering.
Midfielder Noble has not played since injuring his ankle in the
Reserve game against Ipswich Town two weeks ago, while Trent
McClenahan is included for the first time since returning from duty
with the Australian Under-20 team, although he will start from the
bench this evening.
James Walker comes in to replace youngster Darren Behcet in goal,
one of four changes to the team that drew 2-2 with Coventry City
last week. Senior stars Bobby Zamora and Sergei Rebrov, both
involved against Coventry, drop out this evening, to be replaced by
Moses Ashikodi and Frenchman Youssef Sofiane, while Noble starts at
the expense of Sam Wright.
The other senior player to be included is former Welsh
international Andy Melville, while Elliott Ward, Chris Cohen,
Walker, McClenahan and Noble are the other players with first-team
experience who will be in action against Leicester.
The team to face Leicester City is:
1. James Walker (GK)
