Well done Bryan and George for another very good podcast. The review of the match against Plymouth was spot on and totally agree about our need for a goal scorer.
As you guys discussed, the Carabo cup game will see Marti make several changes. I fully expect Cook to be rested but I'd imagine two who will be definite starters are Saito and Varane because they still need minutes to get them match fit.

Subs, Nardi, Santos, EDB, Lloyd, Smyth,Tala, Smyth, Dembele, and Frey
Thanks stoatey for your kind words! I think your team selection is spot on. I just hope Rob Edwards goes for a similar selection level as us. Shame there is only audio available for the cup. This was surely a chance for the EFL and the clubs to make revenue from those who cannot make their games!?

With this being such a quick turnaround of games this week are we expecting JCS to play? 12 months ago there is no way we would have put him in for a league cup match with another match on Friday.
I know we aren't blessed with alternatives though.
I think Celar needs to start to try and get that elusive first goal.
Dembele needs resting so I think Smyth will start.
I expect more changes for this one than Cambridge because we play again on Friday, but we will see.

If Marti decides to rest key players for the next Luton match (and who could blame him) then those selected must play out of their socks! Fans will be livid if we throw away the chance to beat Luton and progress in a cup run for once! Resting JCS would indeed make sense, but who would come in for him that is capable of covering? We needed Fox fit weeks ago, as we have been flying by the seat of our pants in terms of left back and centre back subs. [btw it looks as if Owen Beck will be loaned out by Liverpool to Blackburn...]
I think the 2 cup games so far have highlighted our lack of defensive options. I know Fox is out injured but even with him you still think we need another defender as it doesn't seem like Santos is being used at the back.
