Tony Mowbray has given some hints on who will feature tonight, as he puts the final touches on the squad's preparations for Sunday...
UNUSED SUBS V MALLORCA
"We talked about that, and that's what is going to happen. They need to play football, they need to be ready, so that if they are needed a week on Sunday and beyond, they have to be ready."
PLENTY OF MINUTES IN LEGS
"We shared out all the [game] time on the America trip so they have all played football, and there is another opportunity tonight to get 90 minutes under their belts for some of them, and 60 or 75 minutes for others."
HARTLEPOOL
"I'm looking forward to tonight, and let's see how we go. Once that's done, it's full throttle for Sunday and off we go."
DACK
"Bradley has trained a couple of days and he looks amazing... just his awareness and his ability to find space. He just seems to have a yard more time than most players. Yet he has to do it on the grass, and he hasn't played football for ten weeks. He's been doing a lot of work with a personal trainer but that's a lot of straight-line running, and football is different. It's hard to recreate when you're on your own. I think he needs a week or so with the lads before we expose him to a game. My mind is more focused on Crewe for him."
