Saltor admitted during Monday’s pre-match press conference that he has never selected a starting line-up during his coaching career.
He said: “Tomorrow is going to be the first time [I pick a team].
“I have been coaching for four years and have been coaching under Graham [Potter].
“Obviously, he has been the manager and he always had the last word. It’s quite clear that it’s not been the case.
