[Albion] Team for Crawley Town (H) - Carabao Cup 2nd round

[GT49er]

Assuming no one comes or leaves or gets fit/injured before then:

Rushworth

Offiah, Webster, Igor, Barco

Gilmour, Yalcouye

Cozier-Duberry, Gruda, Sarmiento

Rutter

Heaven forbid. No! We tried this sort of bugger-aboutery against second division Aston Villa in the cup 3 or 4 years ago and lost 3-1. It was embarrassing - and they crowed as if they'd won the CL and we were dumped out of the cup in humiliation. Never again, please.
Play a team that will actually WIN!

We've had this discussion every year since then... its a good tradition.

You'll be disappointed though, like every year.

The team won't contain anyone who starts vs Man Utd or who plays a reasonable number of minutes as sub*. The lineup will be clearer on Saturday.

* Steele may be an exception given the current dire goalkeeper situation if Rushworth is certain of being loaned out.

 

[Munchkin]

Based on leaving out our entire starting XI from today and players that are yet to confirmed as new additions to the squad:

———————— Rushworth ———————
Lamptey —— Igor ——- Webster —— Baleba
Adringa ——- Moder —-- Ayari ——— Gruda
————- Enciso ——— Sarmiento ————

What strength in depth we have! And still the likes of Estupinian / Ferguson / March / Wieffer and Verbruggen all injured.

 

[Freddo]

Verbruggen and Estupinan are back in training, right? If so this would be an ideal one to ease them back in. Also I think Rutter is cup tied.

------------Verbruggen---------
Lamptey--Webster--Igor--Estupinan
-------------Baleba---------------
-------------Ayari---------------
Gruda------Sarmiento-----Adingra
-------------Enciso---------------

If not Verbruggen, then Rushworth
If not Gruda, then Cozier-Duberry
If not Estupinan, then anyone but Baleba (let him play CM)

Yes crypto attracts a huge number of scammers and chancers - but it also attracts intelligent and ambitious people too. That these Americans turned themselves into smart operators in British lower league football in very little time I think puts the owners Wagmi into the latter category

I'm a big fan of Wagmi.

Especially the bang bang cauliflower.

Would be good to see Webster, Rushworth, Igor, Lamptey, Adingra, Rutter, Baleba, Enciso, Yalcoure and Gruda get minutes. I’d like to see some of the u18’s and 21’s too. Howell, Weir, Offiah etc.

That said, whatever the manager wants to do is good with me.

It wouldn't - he's cup-tied!

Ah!!!

Personally I’d play Steele instead of Rushworth. Bart is back in training so won’t be far off, and Steele will struggle for game time after that

Ermmm ........we do want to win a trophy soon, don't we? I suppose it would be quite exciting, Sussex-wise, if Crawley had a spectacular League Cup run, but ....................................

 

[Mancgull]

In fairness to Jason Steele he has been excellent for the first two games. Brilliant with his feet.
Really looking forward to seeing Gruda.

Left out of the squad today - I’d be surprised if Sarmiento is even still with us on Tuesday night.

I couldn’t see a reason he wasn’t in the squad yesterday, so could he be off again? Anyone ITK?

 

[Big Vern]

If Kadioglu and O’Riley are completed over the weekend, I guess they would get some minutes, along with Rutter?

Better players?
You may well be right though

Rutter won’t be playing - cup tied
