Definitely not Grimes. With Sheaf and Eccles out we can't risk him. Probably our most influential at present (yeah I know he was very average today but not alone in that).

Ccfcisparks · Aug 9, 2025

@Jamesimus what is funny?

This is closer to what I would go with, but in an ideal world rest Torp as now Sheaf is injured, he has become more important.

There’s 3 different players to yours just in the back four.

Ah sorry misread; you initial one you said Lati and I think you picked Brau to start further forward on the left!

Jamesimus · Aug 9, 2025

Defo wouldn’t want to risk Grimes or Torp where possible is my main concern.

Yes true not now with Sheaf. How soon is eccles back?

No idea as I only found out he was injured today so I don’t even know what the injury is?!

It's complications with the dead leg he got away to Sunderland in the playoffs. Lampard said he should be back training soon.

Viktor17 · Aug 9, 2025

Eccles starting to train next week I think. Someone mentioned above, very challenging complications from a dead leg! Can be serious, know someone who had to retire from pro game after a dead leg and subsequent complications.

Domo · Aug 9, 2025

Wilson
KKH Lati Kitching Brau
Grimes
Torp Andrews
Raphael Bassette (why not) Wright

StrettoBoy · Aug 9, 2025

We definitely need to start with Simms.

We can’t risk BTA or HW getting injured and if Simms is staying he needs game time and goals under his belt and if he’s going we need him in the shop window to prove his fitness if nothing else.

Simms is a real enigma. I still think he can be a decent player but it’s quite a while since he showed he has what it takes.

Viktor17 · Aug 9, 2025

We had decent bench today, but already serous gaps in squad showing;

centre half - Lati injured, Perry only option
Right wing - no one back up tats, Raphael just not at level I’m afraid, certainly currently
Left wing - won’t use haji there seemingly and brau not wide left.
Midfield - can’t risk grimes, torp and Rudoni really?! Eccles and sheaf injured

striker - I just don’t know anymore

It makes perfect sense. We are in a mess if Rushworth gets injured.

I would be happy with that.

I’d prefer not to risk Grimes but with Sheaf and Eccles out we are thin on the ground for that slot. I suppose we could try Lati.

I think Lati is injured, he would have been on the bench today if he wasn't.

Fair enough. I wasn’t aware he was injured badly enough to be out for Tuesday.

It was a bit of a long shot anyway.

covcity4life · Aug 9, 2025

Would like to see

Simms
Sheaf
Raphael
KKH
Bidwell/brau

Come on for sure(sheaf unlikely of course)

If lampard wants to keep some continuity in the other positions I don't mind that

Luton will be tough even though in league 1 now and I would like to advance for once. In this cup you only play a few games and you are on latter stages not to mention drawing a prem team doesn't mean definitely out either.

We have the squad to give it a good go

Rushworth

Grimes Allen

GC1976 · Aug 11, 2025

They say the sweet spots in life are just outside your comfort zone. I’d be playing Collins for just the Jeopardy.

Alkhen · Aug 11, 2025

If it's the plan going forward just play the team from Saturday, let them try and find their rhythm. It's August no need to worry about burnout yet, it's way more important to find form

Legia Sky Blue · Aug 11, 2025

As per always I'm happy to play a second string team in the League Cup, but want full strength teams in the FA Cup, as the importance, prestige and capacity to make money out of both is chalk and cheese.

To me the lower price of admission compensates for those upset at paying to watch an under strength team play. History tells you we are likely to play our squad players so if it bothers you too much don't buy a ticket expecting anymore. At the end of the day though if any our squad members have any pretensions about making it in the Championship, they should still be able to beat a team from a lower division, so it shouldn't be a given that we are definitely going to be knocked out by playing an under strength team. The likelihood is that the opposition will also play a changed team so we will not necessarily be playing Luton's strongest team anyway.

FWIW I would be quite happy for us to play the following and see if they sink or swim:
Wilson
KKH, Perry, Lati if fit (if not Kitching), Bidwell
Rodrigues, Allen, Andrews, Brau
Simms, Bassette (or Obikwu)

Have a strong bench if needed and hopefully they win regardless.

Is it likely Lampard will play anyone other than Rushworth ? Last season he used the same keeper for both league and cup games.

CV22SBA · Aug 11, 2025

Its always a weird game this one. Do you rest players for the league or give them minutes to get match fitness. Personally i think we have a big enough and good enough squad now to make lots of changes. CB is our only issue with lack of players and pretty sure Thomas took a couple of knocks on Saturday so will be rested.

Wilson
KKH, Perry, Kitching, Bidwell
Rodrigues, Allen, Torp, Andrews, Brau
Simms

I work with a Luton fan, he also thinks they will make a lot of changes.
