I don't really see why Appleton would make a lot of changes and give unused/unproven players a chance when his priority will be getting to stay in charge permanently.
I think we'll possibly see Grey and Slimani tonight but nothing like a 2nd XI.
I just don't see any difference between this tie and the one vs Sheffield United a couple of rounds back.
It doesn't have to be hoof-ball - they could be a deadly duo with some intelligent, precision crosses into the box. Although on second thoughts, hoof ball is actually more likelyIf it was Ulloa and Slimani, then it would have to be hoofball. Neither of them are any good with their feet.
