Vickers was left out of the Fleetwood Town and Portsmouth matchday squads as well, which infuriated a lot of supporters given how potential the young player has occasionally shown this season.
When asked why he was left off the team against Rovers once more, Selles responded, “He hasn’t been in the League One squad for the last three to four games.”
Naturally, he was participating in the Cup because we rotated. With around 80 percent of the crew, I’ve been attempting to be reliable.
“However, I can’t have three strikers on the bench when we make the lineup. Sadly, we chose to go with Dom and Kelvin instead of Caylan.
“Caylan is working really hard but we cannot have 20 players on the bench.”
Dom Ballard and Kevin Ehibhatiomhan were on the sidelines as Sam Smith got the start against the Gas.
During his loan stint, Ballard has scored against Fleetwood, Northampton Town, and Exeter City; Ehibhatiomhan has also scored frequently and played effectively.
However, Vickers ought to have been included in the matchday roster since he is a stronger alternative than players like Femi Azeez and Harvey Knibbs, who have both struggled recently. Vickers can play on the flank.
Furthermore, given that Charlie Savage hasn’t played well for the majority of the season, Ben Elliott ought to have started in his place in the starting lineup, and Michael Craig was already available as a backup midfield option, one might even argue that Savage shouldn’t be included in the matchday squad.
