Grimsby Town at Luton: No wholesale changes for Hatters trip

THE joint bosses will resist making wholesale changes for tomorrow's trip to Luton – despite the bitter disappointment of last weekend.

Paul Hurst revealed certain players have weakened their position in the side following last Saturday's humbling defeat to Nuneaton.

It is unsurprising therefore, that the duo will make 'one or two' changes for the trip to Bedfordshire.

But Hurst, right, insists that it will not be a totally different eleven that take to the field at Kenilworth Road tomorrow.

He said: "They've certainly left themselves open to being left out of the team tomorrow.

"I can tell you now that we won't be playing a totally different eleven but there will be one or two changes.

"I said at the time, there weren't many players that I could think of anything positive to say about so, the few that did perform stood out quite dramatically.

"I'm pretty sure that there'll be a couple of changes – an obvious one being Alan Goodall."

The Fleetwood full-back is expected to make his Mariners debut tomorrow as a direct replacement for the suspended Aswad Thomas.

The injured Sam Hatton will also miss the clash, while Clayton McDonald remains a doubt as he continues his own injury comeback.

But Hurst says that players such as Andy Cook, left, Scott Neilson and Ross Hannah are beginning to push for a recall to the first team.

He added: "People are giving us more reasons to consider them – Andy Cook being one of them.

"Scott Neilson is looking a lot sharper in training, so he's another one.

"We started Alex Rodman last week and he was one of our better players, and Ross is getting back up to speed.

"There's a lot of options there for us and it's up to us which ones we want to utilise.

"There will be changes, but the biggest change we want to see will be in performance and the desire and commitment.

"We want to see a vast improvement and we want to see a reaction from the players."
