next game.....

I personally would pick a strong side as we have a weeks rest in between Crawley and Brighton. And Brighton have a midweek fixture before they play us.
Even though we lost to Arsenal away last year we picked a strong side and played well and were unlucky and got a lot of praise and respect.
When we pick squad type lineups to supposedly rest players we have lost and lost poorly to the likes of QPR
Newport, Sutton, Rochdale and Histon to name just a few of our embarrassing exits in recent times.

Does Philips miss the Brighton game? Thats what i heard. If so might aswell play him in the cup game.

Apparently the rules have changed so Philips one game ban is competition based so he misses next premier league game versus Brighton.

Good point Outwood - Do we play Phillips then

Or alternatively do we play Struijk in DM as I presume he will be the likely replacement.

It’s a really unnecessary yellow the more you think about it. Brighton is a game that really counts and we’re already in a position where those defensive positions are down the to bare minimums

Casilla
Drameh Ayling Struijk Davis
Phillips
Poveda Shackleton Pablo Costa
Rodrigo

Id expect to see Geldhart and Greenwood at some stage for Pablo and Rodrigo but like a few have said it would be good to see Rodrigo up top for once. Not sure id want to risk a back four of youngsters.

Any idea why Davis didn't make yesterday's squad?

I have probably seen more of the U23 squad than most and would start with:

Casilla
Ayling, Casey, Struijk, Huggins
Jenkins
Poveda, Pablo, Gelhardt, Harrison
Rodrigo

Full team in their natural position.

Looking back at this I was thinking you meant the Brighton game and not Crawley and didn't read your thread carefully enough so my bad. Yep against Crawley it makes sense to give Rod a run out in his natural position just to see how he goes.

I've seen loads of people calling for Bamford to be dropped, it beggars belief it really does

rested not dropped, see how rod does against crawly, if you cannot see any benefit in that then the mind boggles

well what do i know aye
