Hurzeler has to go 'very strong' against Tromso - Aspinall
Seagull boss Fabian Hurzeler has a big decision to make on whether he should start a strong team just three days before his side play away at Chelsea. Both former Seagulls players Warren Aspinall and Guy Butters believe Hurzeler should go strong against their Norwegian counterparts.
Brighton will face Tromso in the second leg of their Conference League play-off tie on Thursday, following a goalless draw in the first leg last week. Manager Fabian Hurzeler must decide whether to field a strong lineup just days before the team's away match against Chelsea. The Norwegian side are heavy favorites to advance to the League Phase of the competition, but Brighton hopes to avoid an embarrassing upset in their pursuit of a first major trophy.
Warren Aspinall and Guy Butters, both former Seagulls players, believe Hurzeler should start a strong team against Tromso. Aspinall, on the Albion Unlimited podcast, stated that Brighton should "get the job done and put the strongest side out." He further added that Brighton "should be beating Tromso" and that the match is "a massive game for the football club," with six extra games in Europe providing financial benefits.
Butters agreed with Aspinall's views, emphasizing the importance of giving players match time. He stated that, aside from Brighton's victory in the previous weekend's game, "playing every minute" is crucial for players. He also suggested that Hurzeler should be "very strong" in this match, taking into account the team's pursuit of a first major trophy.
