WE WILL TAKE THE CUP VERY SERIOUSLY
REDS boss Simon Davey gave his thoughts ahead of the trip to Crewe.
Simon said: "We have a couple of problems. Mounir (El Haimour) has a calf strain and will not feature. He might be a doubt for the weekend as well. Marciano (Van Homoet) is banned but has a groin strain and would not be available anyway.
"Marciano has been punished with a three game ban and he will lose his place in the team. He was frustrated but that does not condone that tackle.
"We will have two enforced changes for the Crewe game and may swap a striker as well because we have Kayode Odejayi, Miguel Mostto and Maceo Rigters all fighting to get into the side. We have trained today and will have a look before Tuesday night.
"We have given the Argentinean FA a deadline of Friday for Hugo Colace's clearance. We will have to see what happens. Hugo has been here since June and someone along the line has to be answerable as to why we have not had it through. We have to deal with it and hopefully it will come through.
"Sam Togwell's transfer to Yeovil is a longer saga than the Gareth Barry one. He was due last week and that kept being postponed so we will see what happens.
"We have no plans to go into the transfer market again unless we have a disaster of an injury. We will go now with what we have got.
"Crewe have a reputation for cup shocks and play very good football. It will be tough but we are confident of getting a result. It is important for us to go and win the game. We will always put out our strongest team in the cup. We will take it very seriously because we need a cup run every year".
