Verdict
Anything other than the kind of thing that happened Wednesday is fine. Fans will be hoping for a shake up, and with the possibility of three new debutants taking the field they may well get it. Another defeat against a team in our half of the table could be devastating, a victory on the other hand would instill confidence and give us something to build on. A draw would be a good result considering our away form this season.
Prediction: Bradford City 0-0 Walsall
