Push On or Calm Down

Now we're mathmatically safe thes are our two options.
Push as high up the league as we can, although with two games left we're unlikely to rise much and we may risk injurys/suspension,
or
Give some key players a deserved rest if they would like it and give some of the regular subs a chance to impress. However this means we may drop a couple of places and look less attractive to potential signings

Give some youngsters a chance, otherwise they'll never get one!

 

League places = more money and I want to see a win vs West Brom

 

This.

 

Combination of the two. Don't play Tiote for the next two games. Like to see Ferguson down the left side, and so put Jonas down the right.

Want to see more of Barton in the middle too.

 

try and mix it a bit, give ferguson at least one start, ditto ranger, and some of the other lads a few minutes to try prove themselves, but wins are always good no matter how safe we are and i for one would love to see our name in the column of the league table marked Top half

 

This. Never works to play too many kids at once, so keep the spine of the team and play a couple of young bloods. Like to see Ferguson get 90 mins and maybe Ranger and Airey to get a good run under their belts. Maybe even Tavernier for the the baggies game.

 

I can't deside on my answer to my own poll. I doubt we'll get anything at chelsea so is there any real point fielding or strongest team, but if we don't we risk a big loss than won't look to good for anyone playing. Also i agree that i'd like to see us beat west brom

 

**** it, go for the win. We've got the summer to recover from injuries and Tiote aside (who I'd rest against Chelsea) we're not risking any suspensions really. Would love a top 10 finish, and a finish above the mackems would be a bonus!

 

This aswell.

Possible team for Chelsea(team I'll like anyways) :

Krul
Simpson Saylor Colo Enrique
Guti Barton Nolan Ferguson
Ranger Lovenkrands

West Brom(my one) :

Krul
Simpson Saylor Colo Enrique
Guti Barton Nolan(maybe even Richardson/Vuckic/Raylor but doubt it'll happen) Ferguson
Ranger Airey(I wish)

Cameos for Tarver, Kadar, etc.

 

Krul
Simmo, Taylor, Colo, Enrique
Guti, Barton, Nolan, Fergie
Kuqi, Ranger

Bring on Donaldson and Tavernier with half a hour left

 

Got to field our strongest side for optimum table position and to stay above them
although it's unfortunate Chelsea are the next game with them desperate to try and catch
ManU. I would try anyone over Ameobi though, he's just embarassing now. Surely
Kuqi will have more movement than him - wouldn't be that difficult. Ranger looks really
keen and looks as though he's trying to prove he's not all mouth and has improved his
attitude issues to Pardew.

 

Even if Chelsea fail to beat ManU, they'll want to finish second so if we slack off and change the lineup a lot they could run us riot and I don't want to finish this "quite emotional season" on an all time low. So barring Tiote, we should go to the Bridge with pretty the same lineup. For West Brom maybe we could include 2-3 youngsters ...

 

Start with the strongest team available, but instead of bringing on the likes of Kuqi, *Raylor etc bring on some youngsters.

*Although I wouldn't mind Raylor starting on the right, moving Barton in the middle instead of Tiote.

 

Save the youngsters and introduce them over next season when we can afford to do it.

We NEED to push on and get as high up the table as possible so we can attract good players. If we take the foot off the gas and end up near the bottom, then top Euro talent is just going to look at and say no chance.

In my opinion, if we want a good transfer window during the Summer, we need to be in the top 10. It's going to be very important when we approach players.

 

Totally agree.
