Had a message from the seagulls text service that he travels in the 17 man squad. Hopefully he will get on the bench!

It's a good match to start. Last 10 mins on the pitch unless we have a chance of winning/drawing...which I very much doubt!

We will get battered so it wouldn't hurt to give him ten minutes when we're a few goals down.

Gossip keeps boards like this interesting. No need to slag everyone off who offers up bits and pieces. Just because s/he didn't meet SC in a motorway service station to get personally briefed is no reason not to post.

Most people say we shouldn't rush him in the 1st team in the 2nd division yet most seem happy to see him play at a premiership side in middlesborough mmmm.

Because it's the Carling Cup & a game where realistically we're not likely to get a result, so it's a good time to give the lad (scary, he's younger that me!) a chance in the first team. Whereas in div 2, every point matters so we want our strongest possible team including subs out there.
So, it seems , do 'Boro (with acknowledgments to their website):
Boro Full Strength For Brighton Test
=========================
STEVE McCLAREN is set to unleash his big guns on Brighton at the Riverside tomorrow night as he continues to steady the Boro ship.
The manager is taking the newly renamed Carling Cup very seriously and plans to field the majority of the team that beat Everton 1-0 on Sunday.
“It was a massive relief to get that first win on Sunday but we can’t rest on that, we need to follow it up,” he said.
“I’m looking to field a strong team and want to make as few changes as possible and make sure we go into this game with the same attitude as we did on Sunday.
“It’s another important game for us tomorrow in a tournament we want to do well in.” McClaren would love to guide the club to a first ever Millennium Stadium appearance but he knows the high-flying second division side will be no pushovers.
“It won’t be an easy game, they’re second in the league going well at the moment and that breeds confidence,” he said.
“They will come here confident with nothing to lose. I’ve seen them a couple of times and they’re a decent team and doing well so it won’t be an easy game for us."Last season a depleted Boro lost to Ipswich as a hectic fixture schedule took its toll. The trip to Suffolk came 48 hours after a derby at Newcastle and just three days before a game with championship-chasing Liverpool.
“Unfortunately we had to field a weakened side and I thought it was stupid how the fixtures fell,” said McClaren. As well as being keen to put a decent cup run together, McClaren is also keen to consolidate Sunday’s win, with consistency and continuity the keywords this week.
“It’s something we’ve not had in the first six games,” he said.
“Sunday’s game was won in the first half and we showed character in the second.
“Now we’re looking at performance and making sure we have the same tremendous attitude and will to win throughout the 90 minutes of every game from the players.
“It was a ‘do whatever it takes to win’ performance and we need to go into every game now like that.” McClaren will again be without calf injury victim Gaizka Mendieta - who is also a doubt for Saturday's trip to Southampton - but otherwise there were no new injuries to report.

It is a sensible decision to include Jake in the squad. It'll give him valuable experience of what it's like to be in the first team, hopefully the trip to a Premier League ground will whet his appetite for more. and encourage him to put the effort in to get more of it. Good luck to him.

Couldn't agree more CO. If he's as good as people say then we need to groom him into a mature young player - the best way to do that is to involve him in the team and make him feel like he really is one of us.
