Team for Brighton

[Zippity]

What would you like to see?

Strongest team possible or rest some players?

I think we need to give a couple of them a break. Bruno has been ineffective recently and Gordon's been running down a few blind alleys so I'd rest him, too with Miley and Barnes starting.

I know he's raw (possibly an understatement) but I'd rather see Osula over Wilson.

We're too immobile with Burn and Schar so I'd be happy to see Krafth in over either of them.

I'm normally an advocate of playing your strongest team but as we're already in one final and with our league form so inconsistent, I think other players need game time so that we've got options in the upcoming games.

Thoughts?

I actually 100% agree with you.

I also agree with your proposed changes.

Bruno, god love him, needs a break.

Burn and Murphy have to be dropped I agree Kratfh needs to play and Barnes for Murphy, Miley in the middle too. Will Wilson be up for 2 games in less then a week ? I wouldnr risk bringing in Trippier as well after he struggled so badly against Man City but id be quite happy too see Targett at Left back and rest Hall.

Osula should replace Murphy on the right for all cup matches. Wilson needs more minutes to sharpen up so he has to start again up top. Gordon needs a break so Barnes on the left.

At the back

Targett Botman Krafthecurta Tripz

Hall needs rest, Botman needs minutes, Krafthu is fast becoming the new Perchinho & Tripz will bring some leadership.

Miley, Longstaff, Joelinton.

Miley should be 4th in the pecking order IMO.
Longstaff for work rate over Willock
Joelinton needs minutes if fit enough.

didnt realise Botman and Joe were available? we should take this match seriously, its qtr final if we beat them. I would play Burn and Krafth, drop Schar. Wouldnt play Longstaff either.

Schar and Burn start yet again Isak is ok and starts and Barnes thankfully for Murphy.

Will be interesting to see how a midfield without Bruno is working. I think Bruno has looked a bit off lately, so that will be interesting...

[Zippity]

Ahh, shame!! What a hit...he didn't need to go that early, either.

[Zippity]

ffs

Nice to see him show respect by not celebrating but wouldn't have begrudged him doing so.

Can't blame Tripps but Dubravka would have saved that without that touch,

[Zippity]

Get in!! That's how to take a penalty, man. Hit it properly and no 'keeper's stopping those.
