    Do we go full strength to try and finish as strongly as possible, or do we start managing our key players and get them rested up? Personally I would rest Mads, Cadden, Kane and Connell now, until the play-offs. Potentially others as well, but definitely them.

    Careful management needed. Rest where it's needed. Put a couple of the young 'uns on the bench. Let Watters take the summer off.

    No, don’t rest any of them and try and clean some momentum back.

    Injuries can happen, let’s try and finish 3rd. Andersen was absolutely hurrendous tonight, he really needs a decent game to put this one to the back of his mind.

    I'd rather go for momentum with a view to using our subs wisely, not sure that we're good enough to pick and choose when we turn it on.

    Full strength every time. Best to hit the play offs with confidence and momentum. Finishing with two poor results would do us no good at all….

    Got to play a strong side against Posh if they still have a chance of the play offs in fairness and to avoid repercussions

    Good job we didn’t play like that against them then. Twice.

    I’d go with a bit of both. Strong squad selection to keep the match sharpness there but also looking after the players a bit. It’s been a long season and we run a lot more than most teams.

    Fair. I would 100% rest Connell though. No brainer for me. Just isn't worth the risk. We've seen time and again just how critical he is, and we have to do everything possible to make sure he's available for play-offs.

    Andersen wasn’t “absolutely horrendous” at all. He got caught out for their second goal. One mistake. He won tons of his duels. I’m not saying it was his best game, but to call his performance horrendous is just an over reaction.

    TBF I saw a few posts saying they don’t need to fear us if we end up playing them in the play off final - because they should’ve won at Oakwell after outplaying us.

    I’m more than happy for them to ‘outplay’ us and lose again ;)

    If Duff thinks anyone is looking tired, rest them
    Saturday. Then full strength for Peterborough.

    I'd chuck in watching us if I was you Bomber, its obviously bad for your mental health, given you always go on a downward depressive spiral every time we lose!

    MK Dons are in a relegation battle, won’t go down well if we field a ‘weakened’ side

    Our defence needs a rest. Williams hasn't played well for a month, Mads was at fault for the second and Thomas looked tired after about half an hour drinking his water.

    Blackburn have on a regular basis given 6k - 8k tickets to away fans. This was petty.
    Hope they suffer for it.

    I think this is in the wrong thread. Unless it's the reason for Mads' poor form :D
