Despite a summer of hype over The Revolution there is a very familiar look about Micky Beale’s side for tonight’s match against Newcastle.
Only three new signings feature in the Starting XI, four if as expected Jack Butland replaces Allan McGregor who is again walking away.
There are no changes from last season’s classic defence, in midfield Kieran Dowell joins up with Ryan Jack and John Lundstram.
Up front the less than prolific duo of Abdallah Sima and Sam Lammers join Todd Cantwell with Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos quitting in May.
Leon Balogun makes it onto the bench but there is no sign of Cyriel Dessers or Djuon Sterling with just three weeks to go until the Champions League Third Round qualifiers.
Glen Kamara doesn’t make it onto the bench but there is a starting place for Borna Barisic, despite claims of interest from Turkey Scott Wright is in his usual place on the bench.

That’s got Champions league material written all over it.
If NFC fancy a proper training session and take it semi seriously then, Sevco are due a hiding. If NFC are there for a kickabout, then Sevco may look like equals. Perceptions are relative to the information given.
