He has to deliver today. I don’t get how he starts ahead of the others, but hope he proves me wrong.
Russell has had three weeks to work with him, which he didn’t really have back in the summer because of the uncertainty about whether he’d stay or not. So just maybe we’ll see a different player.
 
Good team. Glad to see Bree start. If Sulemana isn`t cutting it, then there are good options to bring on with fresh legs.

One is back from injury and one played internationally this week (same reason I assume Bednarek is on the bench)
Yes I think it's understandable why Sule is starting given circumstances for the others.
On Solent they mentioned that Bednarek took a few knocks for Poland.
 
yeah I guess we want to be involved for as long as possible to give us the best possible chance whether that he autos or playoffs.

If we say lose both games this weekend and the other 3 win both then we are basically playing 10 games or whatever with not much to play for, will be hard to then get up the intensity for the playoffs again I think
Leicester lost.
 
Like that line up and glad Sulemana is getting a start. Obviously has a lot of talent and the only way he is going to realise that is with game time, especially as his biggest flaw is his decision making. Time will tell if that ever improves but I’m willing to give him opportunities to show what he can do

I can’t believe Leicester lost again. They’re really gonna bottle it aren’t they
 
Leicester lost.

Yeah I wasn’t saying that scenario was going to happen, just pointing out that we want to be playing for something for as long as possible rather than having a number of games at the end of the season that are essentially meaningless

He's clearly talented but raw. Needs game time. Today he's got a good opportunity to impress.

I can't see that happening, if not automatic then finishing as high as possible in the playoff group is to our advantage.
 
But anyway atm it’s completely in our hands as we are 9 points off, any dropped points and it could easily be autos over
