Even if Korey Smith is available would you keep the same side tomorrow night. Might it help Cotterill keep everyone happy in the squad to see fair play in selection. 'If we win, you keep the shirt'. Any thoughts ? PS - It will also allow Korey more time to recover - risking/coming back early from a 'Hammy' is asking for trouble.
Mods can you re - title the thread.... Also OP don't take matters into your own hands or we will all will play games..... Let yourself down now....
I'm not the one complaining like a like girl.... I don't actually care how many threads people make. I'm also not the one trying to antagonise another person...
Anyway, back to the thread please. If Korey is 100 % fit bring him back in, strongest team should be fielded.
'Mods can you re - title the thread..... fair comment Tetbury. I've tried but unable to change title. Edit...................Title changed, I hope that suits Rp....
Think I would start with Pack and introduce Smith if his injury allows. Hamstrings are pretty temperamental and having injured them myself, I know that coming back too quickly, even when you don't feel too bad, can keep you out longer
I think he will start with the same side that started at Coventry, I suppose thats fair, but its not like Smith was out of form, so difficult decision for Cotts..
Thats probably a good reason to do the opposite, if Smith breaks down early we're not wasting 2 subs, if he breaks down after coming on as a sub we have got to get another one on.
Thanks Wiz for the edit. I'd start with Pack but hey ho, fingers crossed they don't risk/rush Korey back. I reckon (in time) Pack and Korey will be first choice in CM and will make a great combination. How Cotterill does it with Elliot and Freeman playing so well I'm not sure. It will probably happen naturally with injuries,suspensions and fatigue. Pack's a great option though.
WE WON AND WON well at COVENTRY... FIRST SUB WAS 87 MINS AND 2 IN XTRA TIME? so the TEAM did well to be 2-1 up with as it turned out before a sub in 87 mins which was 8 mins before the end... giving JET and Wilbers a bit of game time seems reasonable, and although in ET we made it 3 to much "change " in ET led to the loss of 2 points has previously... THE SIDE THAT STARTED should be given another chance, Korey as a sub, late on, seems obvious, imagine starts the game, in a defensive position it goes again...goal could result or worse still be out for months....
absolutely agree with sneyd. start with pack, do his confidence the world of good, something I believe he has perhaps lacked.
