What do people think for Saturday? Personally, I think we need to rest a few because there's an important couple of games in the following week, and more importantly, one or two look knackered. I'd definitely be giving Woodrow, Styles and Brittain a rest. Which does leave a bit of an issue of who our back up RWB is. So I'd go... Collins Sibbick Helik Andersen Frieser Palmer Kane Mowatt Adeboyejo Schmidt Chaplin Some of the rested players will need to be on the bench, given all our fringe players are either injured, cup tied or out on loan.
Don't care. More bothered about Cardiff and Forest games. Woodrow is starting to look knackered, and Styles and Brittain have also played the vast majority of games in a packed schedule. If Kitching and Halme were available, I'd be putting them into the back three as well.
I know, was just saying I'd pick him if he was available. Unfortunately, he's out for multiple reasons. Andersen will need a game off soon though. We do a lot of defending, and we saw a rest do Helik good last month.
First choice 11, we need as much practice at sorting the goal scoring as possible. By your logic better to do that when no points are at stake
I'd pick anybody who isn't considered a first team starter or commonly used as a sub every game. We've loads of players. Play them. A change is as good as a rest. At the minute a change and a rest are even better.
I know I'm being a pessimistic git but I think we'll lose whatever team we put out, unless Norwich play a reserve side. May as well play some fringe lads and give them one last chance to show that they're up to it.
I think as a minimum, Odour and Sibbick should start. They need minutes and might be needed in the league at some point. Plus, I think Styles' performances have dropped a bit in recent weeks. Which is not surprising, he's a 20 year old who is asked to cover a lot of ground for 90 minutes every 2-3 days. I think Brittain and Woodrow would also benefit from a bit of a rest. When they're on form they're probably our most important players along with Mowatt. May as well put Schmidt in the shop window, and we need to find a backup for Brittain given Williams' injury problems.
