"Gaz came back two days ago, he missed five months, so it's unlikely he'll be involved and we'll have to take a look at Nico Gordon. We'll have to make some changes, but it's very important that we get back to being competitive and get wins again. It's a chance for us to go there on Tuesday and be strong, we will go with a strong team and also respect the FA Cup and go to the next round.
It's all about attitude, we go there and try to get it right and whoever we choose will be ready for the fight".
