Will McGhee do one of his specials and start him on the right for the first team?

Frutos gets a change of viewpoint
Alex Frutos admits an off-the-cuff decision to switch wings has helped perk up his subdued start to the season.
Frutos started on his usual left side with Dean Cox on the right as Albion Reserves went 4-3-3 in Tuesday's 2-1 Combination win at QPR.
But the frustrated Frenchman, who has been an onlooker during the first team's encouraging start in League One, found himself out on the right for most of the game.

That was from where he produced his best work, including a cross into the path of the oncoming Doug Loft, whose header hit the outside of the post.
Cox and Frutos swapped flanks 38 minutes into the first half but the Frenchman said it was not part of any great masterplan.
He said: "I think Coxy had gone over for a corner and we decided to stay on those sides. I felt good on that side.
"The gaffer didn't really say anything, we decided to do it between us.
"I've played on the right wing sometimes for Metz.
"It can be a good place for me because I can go inside and use my left foot and Coxy can do the same with his right."
Frutos went on one mazy run inside which led to a left-foot shot from the edge of the box being blocked.
He also crossed deep for Cox, beyond the far post, to go pretty close with a well struck right-foot volley which brought a ripple of applause from the smattering of Rangers fans in the Loftus Road main stand.
The Frenchman admitted last season the rigours of a 46-game English campaign in all weathers caught up with him.
