Winger Bennett and midfielder Odjidja-Ofoe played 90 minutes with defender Bennett lasting 67 minutes - all three having been on the substitutes bench in recent Sky Bet Championship matches.

It denied City top spot in the top tier of academy football but they have now lost just one of their last 13 Barclays Under-21's Premier League encounters.
Coach Paul Wilkinson told the club's official website: "It was frustrating, we created numerous opportunities and we weren't ruthless enough really to finish them off.
"We were playing against a good team and we switched off at the back and we've been punished.
"We've lost one out of 13, though - I can't ask for any more than that really.
"They've been terrific whether they've been first-team players, Under-21s players or Under-18s players, they've all had a great attitude."
