Michael Flynn could mix things up for Newport’s cup encounter with Oxford
Posted Monday, August 27, 2018 by PA
Newport manager Michael Flynn could freshen up his side for Oxford’s Carabao Cup trip to south Wales.
Flynn has named the same starting XI for the last two league games and might tinker with a winning formula as County seek to emulate their run in last season’s FA Cup.
David Pipe, Mark O’Brien, Charlie Cooper and Jamille Matt will be considered for starting spots.
Andrew Crofts (toe infection), Mark Harris (thigh) and Robbie Willmott (hamstring) hope to be involved.
Oxford will travel with confidence after their first league win of the season at home to Burton on Saturday.
Boss Karl Robinson will be reluctant to make too many changes after that 3-1 victory but Ricky Holmes has made a strong case for inclusion.
Holmes has been sidelined by a back complaint in recent weeks but scored shortly after coming off the bench against Burton.
Luke Garbutt and Rob Dickie hope to figure after featuring in the first-round win against Coventry but Simon Eastwood (dislocated finger) and Rob Hall (knee) remain out.
