Who would we expect to play against Harrogate with Ollie rotating the squad?
I assume Hanson will play a part this time and maybe the new lad Gomis.

Can see the back 5, if fit, as Saturdays. Midfield, reckon Morton, Spokes and Clifton. Up front, Gibson and Gomis, Hanson on the the bench.

Have a feeling that Scannell, Edwards and Ohman will all start, plus Morton and maybe Hanson and Gibson but at present it’s never going to be the team we expect.

Windsor is a must if fit, he's been brilliant. As for the rest? No idea. Will be a tough game. Harrogate are full of confidence and playing well.

I don’t know how we compare to other sides in this regard, but we must be pretty tough to scout and prepare for right now. I reckon I could have a stab at predicting Tuesday’s team and still get five or six names wrong, not to mention the formation.
I’d be relatively confident in Macca and Preston starting, and possibly Pollock and Waterfall but beyond that it’s tough to know. There are still a decent number of our more experienced players that we still haven’t seen a great deal of yet - Hanson, Scannell, Bennett, Moshni, plus the new lad Gomis.
Based on what I’ve seen so far, I’d say our ‘best eleven’ probably looks something like this:
Macca Hendrie - Pollock - Waterfall - Preston Rose - Williams - Clifton Edwards - Hanson - Windsor
I don’t know how close we’ve come to that 11 being on the pitch at the same time, but I’d definitely be excited to see that front three at some point. For an opposition centre half, the prospect of having to deal with the trickery and pace of Edwards, the physicality of Hanson and the sheer energy of Windsor must be a quite a prospect.

Pure guesses but I would think Tilley, Edwards and Gibson will come back in and possibly Idehen will rotate in for Pollock with Morton for Taylor.
What I'm fairly sure of is that the changes will be down to Ollie resting players rather than any issue with individual performances.

Tilley might get a run at left wing back. Preston has played every game I think. I know Windsor has stolen the headlines with his great play, but I actually think Preston is the star loanee. He’s going to be a fabulous left back and will clearly play higher up. We’ve had some really good players on loan in that position in recent years. I know people were a bit skeptical about all the kids on loan, but clearly Holloway’s contacts are solid, these kids really strengthen us. Thought Taylor had his best game at Orient after a couple of shaky performances.

Whenever I've seen Harrogate over the last few years they have been physical, fit and organised. Idehen had Stead in his back pocket during the trophy game so it wouldn't surprise me to see him start instead of Pollock.
If they are physical at the back I think he will go with the mobile lads. Something like:
McKeown Öhman Idehen Waterfall Hewitt Rose Spokes Tilley Jackson Gibson Edwards
Scannell and Gomis to feature from the bench.

I thought Preston looked a bit at sixes and sevens on Saturday when their sub who scored came on. he seemed to have the beating of Preston.

And went on to fox both centre halves too before finishing calmly. Jobi McAnuff also caused problems with his balance and trickery.
