Team naews
Before Tuesday night’s match, Pete Wild and Neil Wood both have fully healthy teams from which to choose.
Josh Gordon and Josh Kay, who scored the winning goal in Saturday’s match, are expected to line up in a 3-5-2 formation for the Bluebirds.
Barrow’s defense will consist of George Ray, Sam McClelland, and Niall Canavan, while Patrick Brough and Elliot Newby will play wingback.
Callum Hendry will be supported in attack by Luke Bolton and Aston Villa loanee Louie Barry, and Salford City are likely to name a team that remained unchanged from their crushing victory at Mansfield.
In the 4-3-3 system, Matty Lund will guard the back four and let the two number eights support the forwards.
