That's what I would like to see, would imagine Novak will start ahead of RHF though.
No, that is the team that will start. It has been announced by Robinson. Novak and Jackson will be starting Saturday so have been left out of the starting eleven. Only four subs will be travelling as there will be a hard training session today. Subs will be Novak, Jackson, Lapslie and I presume Maynard - Brewer.
Yes I saw the team after posting, forgot about Magennis being away. Good shout!
Don't see the point in only taking 4 subs, surely better to take some youngsters and have the option there?

Perhaps if they're not genuinely ready to be involved possibly a good thing not to give them the impression they are.

Sounds like there will be a good chance of Lapslie making his debut then.
Reeves cant be ready to play a full 90mins so will surely be replaced... Would that be the area that Lapslie would slot into or if he was to play would it be in place of either Aribo or Crofts?

Only player that I can think of missing is Umerah...?

I would suggest Aribo would push up to play the 10 and Lapslie would slot in at CM.
“Luckily with the rules this year, because we’ve lost Jay and Josh it’s allowed players who have played two starts so basically all my squad falls into the rules and regulations which is fortunate.
Presumably Carabao Cup appearances count for this, so it's just as well we played weakened teams in that competition!
Still not a bad side, other than perhaps up top where Novak might have got a game if he wasn't needed on Saturday
Not sure why we're sending so few subs though, Crawley is hardly a long distance from Sparrow's Lane

No point in taking Novak and risking him getting injured. Umerah would have been better. Bowry has already been on the bench so surely would have benefited from travelling, maybe Edwards.
My interest for this game doesn't exist really. I am looking at a bit like a pre season friendly, a good opportunity for the youngsters, a good opportunity for Reeves to build his fitness up etc. Result doesn't matter, performance neither, be nice for them to play well but no injuries please all being ready for Oldham on Saturday.

Robinson said today:
“We’re only going to take four subs because I want my players to train very hard on Tuesday. We’re going to train here (Sparrows Lane) on Tuesday, very hard for Oldham.”
Have the U-23s got a Development League match this week?

Not until next Monday... I was wondering myself whether there was a conflict of interest with the U23s playing themselves (i.e. Robinson not wanting to take too many from that squad forcing players from the U18s into the U23s who in turn arent ready for that level)
Interesting comments from Robinson, looks as though I was right to leave Lapslie on the bench (despite since changing him for Aribo)... Only going to be four subs as well with Johnnie Jackson and Lee Novak on there.
Makes you wonder (1) who'll be starting @ Left-Back (2) Looks like Reece Hackett-Fairchild will start which he deserves if so.
Also if we are going in with four subs shows how seriously we're taking the competition!!
Think it's a good team. Seems Barnes will start at LB, Dijksteel at RB.
I don't really understand taking only four subs. Surely it's worth it to take another youth player (only give allowed on the bench in this competition I believe). You could have a bench of: AMB, Bowry, JJ, Lapslie, Umerah.

U23's playing next Monday next I believe. Although we don't want to take this competition too seriously, I do get that taking youngsters for the sake of it is not necessarily the best way forward. But the likes of Bowry and Umerah have been in and around the first team squad and I don't get why they haven't gone to make up the numbers.
Anyone looked at parking. Crawley is a nightmare for controlled parking restrictions. Seems most parking for the ground is pre booked private driveway parking. Looks like best bet is park in town centre and get bus 12 mins.

There's loads of bays reserved for match days at the sports centre opposite too.

agreed, Novak in for Umerah now he's joined Wycombe. I think 7 subs are allowed though, I don't understand not having a bench of AMB, Edwards, Bowry, Jackson, Lapslie, Novak and someone like Anderson or Yamfam.
Not my money, but it makes too much sense to accept the fine here. It will be useful for giving Saturday's potential left back a run out. Novak won't be risked, but not sure JJ is up to playing left back - I suppose it depends on how pacy the Oldham right sidied palyer is.

Robinson said this team actually meets the requirements (partly because Magennis and Dasilva being unavailable I think).
I'm confused - I don't understand how it can meet the requirements. It is actually more interesting it being full of youth players and reserves though IMO.

Yeah he's said that the EFL relaxed the rules to state that to be one of the "four" players from previous squads had to have played in at least two matches... that must include the League Cup because he said that every player fell under that criteria.

2-1 Hope to see some lifers around the Reds bar or whatever it's called.

Hopefully, no injuries apart from that not bothered about the result.
