I doubt the majority of the players there today, will be in Tuesday's team. It will have been useful for Hughton to see just who is capable of stepping into the first team if necessary. He'll now know who to release at the end of the season, if he can't shift them in this window.
It didn't do our league position any harm when we lost to Walsall with wholesale changes, did it?
We have been horrendously unlucky with injuries, so concentrating on the league is the right thing to do, imo.
