FINN Harps boss Kevin McHugh says he will ‘freshen up’ his starting eleven for today’s (Monday) clash away to Bray Wanderers at the Carlisle Grounds.
There’s a full fixture list on Bank Holiday Monday and the Harps game kicks off at 5pm.
Bray lost to Wexford on Friday night but they have been impressive so far this year and sit in second place in the league.
However, the Ballybofey men were fit to take a point from their game with league leaders Cork on Friday and that should help to grow confidence.
Harps remain in the play-off spots but McHugh is wary of the physical toll of two games in four days and is promising changes.
“They are a very technical team with loads of brilliant players and dynamic players all over the front three and their midfield.
“We will need to freshen it up.
“Players that were playing (on Friday night) will not be starting on Monday.
“We will have to get fresh legs in because we have another game four days after that against Cobh so we have to manage everything.
“It’s one of those where we risked players with niggles (on Friday night) and it could have backfired but thankfully it didn’t and we got our point.
“That will be a good point if we can go now and continue the good run we have had on the road and maybe try and get three points.”
Gavin McAteer, Max Johnston, Adam McDaid, Shaunie Bradley, and Perrault Tokam, as well as the manager’s son Odhran, were all on the bench against Cork but will be keen to get a starting berth in Wicklow.
“We have options,” said Kevin McHugh.
“We have people coming back. Big Max (Hutchinson) is nearly there and Aaron (McLaughlin) got a tweak but should be back in another week’s time.
“Darragh Coyle is looking really, really good and Corey will hopefully not be long away either.
“We have people breathing down the neck of people on the pitch and that creates its own wee competition and drives people on as well.”
