Sven Goran Eriksson fielded two different teams in their 2-0 friendly win over Shrewsbury last night.
Late goals from Bernardo Corradi and Paul Dickov gave City victory against the League Two side Shrewsbury as Eriksson said: "I had been thinking about that policy.
"It was something I needed to do tonight rather than Saturday when I will be thinking about the team for the following weekend."
