Dave Frecklington made three changes to his side that lost out to Darlington midweek, bringing in debutant loanee goalkeeper Louis Jones from Doncaster Rovers, Josh Lacey for Charlie Gatter at right back and Jonathan Wafula in for the injured Alex Simmons (pulled quad) on the right side of midfield.

As a result of Saturday’s 4-1 victory over a youthful Lincoln City side, Trinity find themselves with a midweek double header at the Martin & Co Arena, where the Holy Blues first entertain League One Rotherham United, before welcoming Grantham Town in the Semi Finals of the Lincolnshire County Cup.

A hectic period of three games in five days is complete with the short trip to Lincoln United on Saturday, when the Blues travel to the Sun Hats Villas & Resorts Stadium for a 3:30 kick off. We have been advised that the later than normal kick off time is to prevent a clash with the Lincoln City vs Peterborough United pre-season friendly that kicks off at 1pm in the City.
