Jerzy Dudek continued his comeback for the reserves against Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday night but he was part of an otherwise very young and inexperienced reds side which deservedly lost 3-0. The absence of key reserve players Raven, Potter and Whitbread certainly told and the reds were totally outclassed by a David Thompson inspired Rovers side.
Danny Guthrie had failed to recover from the injury he picked up at Wigan last week, whilst Adam Hammill was also missing from the reds squad. Hammill has been a regular this season and has been in excellent form. He was ommitted from the U18's win over Crewe on Saturday and was expected to be involved in this game.
From asking around it seems he isn't injured, so I don't know why he wasn't involved. His creativity and craft out wide was sorely missed however.
