Wolves enter the Carabao Cup in the third round tomorrow night when they welcome Reading to Molineux for their third match in as many competitions inside seven days. [via TransferMarkt.co.uk]
Ahead of the game, the Express & Star’s Wolves correspondent Joe Edwards shared his preferred team selection on his Twitter account @JoeEdwards_Star.
This is how I'd go against Reading in the League Cup on Wednesday. Coady, Bennett and Neves bring the experience, Traore and Vinagre bring the pace, and Gibbs-White, Neto and Jordao are Wolves' exciting youngsters. What do you think? #wwfc pic.twitter.com/wdgScUkOo0

He has called for a mixture of youth and experience, as well as the pace of his preferred wing-backs Ruben Vinagre and Adama Traore.
If Wolves line out as Edwards has suggested, Conor Coady and Traore would be the only two players who started Sunday’s Premier League draw at Crystal Palace to also feature from the start against Reading.
Edwards’ suggested line-up would see Bruno Jordao come in for his Wolves debut, John Ruddy make just his second appearance of the season and Pedro Neto handed only his second start for the club.
On the other end of the scale, the ever-present Coady would have the opportunity to maintain that status for a 14th game this season, but these Wolves fans on Twitter are hoping that the club captain will be given a rare night off to make way for youngsters such as Max Kilman and Dion Sanderson:
Sanderson instead of Coady ….. captain marvel should have a very well earned rest.

I'd rest Coady and bring in Kilman.

We’ve got to give Coady a rest

Coady needs a rest, I’d also not play Traore, play one of the kids or Doherty (needs minutes). Kilman should play and I’d also avoid Neves.

Would not play Coady, Neves or Traore. They all need a rest. Give the cleaner a pair of boots if necessary. All first team players should be nowhere near Molineux on Wednesday night. Back home, feet up with a mug of Horlicks

I think Coady needs a rest but other than that pretty much agree

Do you think Coady should be given a rest for the match against Reading after playing every minute so far this season? Comment below with your views!
