SAM Allardyce has confirmed that he will use the Worthington Cup fourth round tie against Notts Forest on Monday to give outings to members of his first team squad who have not been getting starts in the Premiership.
Steve Banks, Bruno N'Gotty, Colin Hendry and Gareth Farrelly could all be involved against First Division Forest but the manager insists: "We will field a strong team with the aim of getting a win from what we know will be a very competitive game and a very important game."
