*** Northampton Town v Brighton & Hove Albion Carling Cup 1st Round *** Official !!

Is Warren Aspinall on the club staff? I guess he's part of the scouting team the way he speaks about "us" on the radio.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Agree re Holroyd perfect time for him to score really.

 

[Mellotron]

Straight from Argus:

"I am told Hart will be centre forward with Holroyd out wide but I will confirm when we are under way."

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Is the match on radio somewhere then? :albion1:

 

[Mellotron]

But if Holroyd DOESN'T score tonight guess what?...

It's still not time to write him off.

Hopefully this can be the game Holroyd actually gets a goal. Even if one just deflects in off his arse, at least it'll give the lad some confidence.

Spot on. Hope the Argies have good games too :albion1:

Could someone post a link to the game please? Not near a radio and would really like to listen. C'mon you Seagulls!!!

 

[kevtherev]

Good selection imo, giving everyone a early game to keep them interested, while resting the likes of Calderon, Navarro, Bennett and Kich so they are spot on for Saturday. Big game for Holroyd you would think?

 

[pintsawhiskey]

Hart as lone striker! lol

Ohhh Holroyds playing, that's okay then.

lol

Gus Poyet rings the changes for tonight's Carling Cup tie at Northampton, with seven changes to the side which won at Swindon Town.

The Albion boss hands debuts to keeper, Michael Poke and Argentine pair Christian Baz and Augustin Battipiedi. Andrew Whing, Gary Hart, Gary Dicker and Chris Holroyd also come in for their first start of the season.

The quartet of Tommy Elphick, Adam El-Abd, Matt Sparrow and Marcos Painter are the only players to keep their place, although Elliott Bennett, Alan Navarro, Ashley Barnes and Jamie Smith are on the bench, along with first-year professional Ryan Thomson.

Northampton Town boss Ian Sampson makes two changes to the side which lost 3-0 at Torquay United: Nathanial Wedderburn and Michael Jacobs come in for former Arsenal trainee Paul Rodgers and Liam Davis.

Teams

Albion: (4-4-2) Poke, Whing, Elphick, El-Abd, Painter; Dicker, Battipiedi, Sparrow, Baz; Hart, Holroyd. Subs: Walker (GK), Bennett, Navarro, Barnes, Jamie Smith, Cook, Thomson.
