Elliot Thorpe represents a more youthful option, whilst Carlos Mendes Gomes provides a more athletic alternative to Hylton in an attacking midfield position.

Elijah Adebayo and Harry Cornick both had a difficult evening in Yorkshire on Monday, with a slight alteration to the forward line perhaps a possibility.
