LJ ON TEAM SELECTION



Lee Johnson has considered the side he'll select today against Mansfield, and insists that it will be a strong team.


YOUNGSTERS

"You've got players like Ollie [Younger], Ellis [Taylor], Will [Harris], Stephen [Wearne], who have been with us recently. They'll be in and about the squad."


STRONG TEAM

"But there will be a lot of senior players, we will pick a strong team there's absolutely no doubt about that. It won't be a weak team. I'll pick the best team to go and win it."


RESTS

"We have had a couple playing with bumps and bruises, so it might be an opportunity to give those a rest. But we would do that in any scenario."


WINNING

"To be brutally truthful, if you wrote off the cup competitions this year we would have more energy for the league, wouldn't we? There's no doubting that. But you want to win games, and when you pick a team, I don't care if it's 5-a-side, tiddlywinks, the FA Cup, the Papa John's, once you're there, there's a fanbase watching you, you want to win. Simple as that. I want to create a winning environment and players want to feel like they're contributing to all levels of the club."


GOOD THINGS

"That's what we're doing. We're doing so many good things and that shouldn't be written off because of what's happened in the last nine days."


XHEMAJLI

"Arbenit could be involved on Tuesday - possibly. I'm thinking about it, but I haven't decided yet. I'll pick a team for that game after the FA Cup tie."
