Team for Brighton?

Quoted from GrimRob

Would Hurst play Taylor for 90 last night if he was going to start? Orsi I reckon will play. Has been our talisman so far in this competition. Both games against Luton and won the crucial second pen at Soton.

I sense we’ll try and get balls in behind them so you would think Orsi will start but though he’s not the most mobile Taylor does have craft.

Taylor ideally will be used in the latter stages. Most likely scenario is we will be needing to score in the second half and he will come on us a sub. If we manage to get a draw and it goes to pens he will be still on the pitch.

Quoted from Hagrid

No chance should Efete be dropped, he was outstanding at Southampton and deserves his place

On the basis of the last few games, Efete plays wing back ahead of Emmanuel on Sunday.

If we go to pens, we've had it!

If we go to pens, we've had it!

If you’d told me, going into the Southampton game with a 100% penalty fail rate, that we’d win that game with two pens, I’d have been screaming for a nurse.

Got a feeling Hunt and Green could start, extra body for covering our wing backs getting forward with Clifton playing off McAtee..

Could be even a bit more cautious than Southampton..

Assuming it's a 3-5-2 formation this is who I think Hursty will pick
Gk
Crocombe - easy decision

Back 3
Maher
Waterfall
Efete
Maher and Waterfall are shoe ins and I think efete's pace gets him the nod ahead of smith albeit smith is better aerially and as a comfortable on the ball defender. Hurst does like efete so don't see him dropping him after Tuesday nights display.

Wingbacks
Emmanuel
Glennon
Both have a bit of class going forward, emmanuel to beat a man by seeming to turn back and then suddenly going past him and a great cross if given time. Glennon has a great delivery and our dead ball specialist. Pretty sure these two will get the nod.

Midfield 3
Clifton
Holohan
Hunt
Clifton is our best midfielder I think, I reckon holohan gets the nod due to his experience and the fact he offers a goal threat from distance, which being as we may struggle to get a sight on goal might be important. Penalty taker too, might be important with VAR! I really can't decide who he will pick for the 3rd spot as there are arguments for and against all 3 of the main contenders: hunt is weaker physically and can be bullied and has dropped clangers in front of his own box on more than 1 occasion, very inconsistent form, but good passer when on game, Morris is better physically but still prone to giving the ball away and not in good form, not as good with ball as hunt, Green is just coming back from injury and can get himself excessivly ramped up for games in lg2 never mind this match. I think he woukd be a red card/penalty/free kicks in dangerous areas waiting to happen against the quicker feet of premiership players albeit he is a battler and strong tackler. Khan is an outside choice possibly. Overall I'd probably be least likely to pick green- so probably that's who it'll be - or hunt maybe as that's who he picked last time. OK Hunt.

Front 2
Mcatee
Orsi

Mcatee has been hit and miss for wise but he still battles and gives 100% and his running helps out tye midfield. Obviously he has that flash of magic in him like forbthe chip against Newport, if anybody is likely to create a goal from the very little we are likely to have on Sunday it's him. Orsi cos I think we will be working hard and doing a lot of running and that suits him more than taylor, and he has done well in the other cup games when coming in. Has more pace than taylor for if we are on a counter.

Subs
Battersby
Smith
Pearson
Amos
Green
Morris
Khouri
Khan
Taylor

I think green coming back probably knocks scans off the bench as he isn't fit enough  for anything but a cameo, no rwb in reserve means efete covers that which maybe means Pearson as extra CD cover - more likely to have a CD sent off than a forward. Think khori will get the nod ahead of DP even tho we are so light on strikers in the cup and probably already have 2 centre mids on the bench (whoever they are).

All that thought ive put into it and El-General is probably gonna do something totally different!
