Just rotation innit with Connell you would think. We've played so much football in the last two weeks. Nice to see Roberts back too.
Played 4 games in a short period of time in a high work load position good we now have a adequate replacement.
McCarthy on bench too. Presume it’s rotation for him. Pleased that Clarke has done this - it was the Rovers/Wrexham/Brum games that crocked Roberts in the first place. It shows that perhaps he’s now finding players he can trust so can rest some accordingly. Still many games to go.
Lots of games in quick succession so it’s natural to have some rotation. You don’t want to be losing a Connell for example, through over-exertion. Another pleasant surprise to note Robbo back from injury. I know the Crawley gaffer, a great bloke and they play to win. Don’t expect a low block from them. Should be goals for sure. 0-0, then
Learnt not to criticize the lineup as they come out as Clarke has proved to get it right last few weeks. Does possibly make sense to have Nwakali start over Connell as we should have more of the ball today and nwakali offers that extra quality passing wise
according to the BBC Gent is in the middle of the back 3 with Pines left wing back. Funny Pines was a striker last week. A modern day Paul Madeley?
Pleased to see squad rotation after Wednesday's strange lack of second half subs. Maybe Pines is preferred to McCarthy as Crawley pose an aerial threat?
Also a big threat from set pieces the other end. I think him over McCarthy and nwakali over Connell is mainly rotation and rest, but partly horses for courses.
