Club captain, Alan Browne, is back on the bench after illness. Ched Evans makes a match squad for the first time since early January. Josh Seary and Theo Mawene drop out of the 18, while Liam Millar, Ryan Ledson, Brad Potts and Ben Whiteman remain out.

@HParkz10: BROWNE AND MADS ON MY SCREEN TODAY IS A GOOD DAY. @LWpnefc: Good as we could’ve asked for. @AdamMasefield: So now we go for it, better late than never I guess. @WoodDan82: Too little too late. Mads should have started or been brought on early on Saturday, instead of settling for a meaningless draw.

@KeatonFisher19: @htafc wouldn’t bother turning up lads. Mads hat trick inbound.’ @ChrisCarter90: Good that Browne’s back in the squad. Worrying that still no Millar though.’ @Anonymouspnefc: ‘Whatmough on the bench is harsh.’ @PJCrisps: ‘Feel like tonight would’ve been a good opportunity to play Best as Hughes offers little going forward.’
