POOLS: Ritchie Jones is pressing for a recall after an impressive goalscoring display for the reserves in the 2-2 draw at Leeds on Tuesday. He could replace Antony Sweeney in central midfield, in the only likely chance to the side that drew 0-0 with Brentford eight days ago. Ben Clark is back in training, but isn't yet ready for a recall.
