Brighton v Barnet

EFL CUP

Venue: The American Express Community Stadium
Date: Tuesday 22nd August 2017
Kick-off: 19:45 BST
Referee: Stephen Martin
Assistants: Ian Cooper, Robert Hyde
Fourth official: Dan Cook


​

Brighton & Hove Albion will not have received international clearance in time for record signing Jose Izquierdo to feature at the Amex Stadium.

Winger Anthony Knockaert is likely to make his first start after an ankle injury while summer signings Soufyan Ahannach and Ales Mateju should debut.

Barnet are without striker John Akinde and full-back Richard Brindley with knee and ankle issues respectively.

Defender Elliott Johnson is out for the season with a knee injury.

3 stars in thread title looks good, 3-1 to the good guys (or 3-0 if go with the Finn in goal).

Steve Martin's the ref! I know it's the Caribou Cup, but "Aye Carumba!"

Big bonus for us that John Akinde is out, he's their talisman and has scored bucketloads for them in the past few seasons. All power and pace and unplayable on his day.

A couple of goals would be nice. A possible banana-skin if we don't take it seriously. This comp is certainly not a priority for us this year.

Hope so, although I think it is something we should go attempt to win, why not it would build confidence within the squad and a win is a win.

Goals would be good we need some confidence restored

Absolutely. As important to them as Knockaert was for us last season. Barnet will look to play a 4-3-3 with Shaquile Coulthirst (signed from Peterborough in the summer) their main danger man.

Absolutely, I'd always take a win in any comp.

Late official thread again?

Well I don't want to be blamed for another defeat.

Rohan Ince starting, then going out on loan

Please can mods merge?!

That black surround on the Albion badge is a bit of a risky punt isn't it?

Don't recall you using that one before.

Uncharted territory?

Done. Is 09:36 on match day 'late'? What are you expecting?
