SCENE-SETTER
With a number of postponements for the side over the last couple of weeks, including a Central League Cup fixture against Peterborough United in midweek, the Iron's Under-23s side were last in action at Doncaster Rovers in the Central League on November 19th.
Despite a dominant performance from start to finish, the team only came away with a point, with Lewis Butroid netting to cancel out an early opener when really United should have run away with a victory following a high volume of chances throughout.
Adam Kelsey (finger) made a return in goal last time out, while Andy Dales also got 90 minutes as he stepped up his return from a hamstring injury. Jacob Bedeau and John McAtee, who have also been in the first team's match day squad in recent weeks, made up the XI, while second-year scholar Charlie Barks completed the full game in defence.
First team manager Paul Hurst said in his pre-Blackpool press conference that it could be a game where a number of senior players may be involved as they make a comeback from injuries or a lack of gametime.
Jordan Hallam was nearing a return from a hamstring injury in his press conference last week, while Omar Sanyang (ankle) continues to miss out.
