    we have discovered two fine players in mcclean and killa out of adversity , do we plod on and with the rub of the green gain a couple of places before the end or would anybody else like to see what a couple of the others can do instead of getting splinters, we are safe so when do we find out what they can achieve

    Go for as many points as posible, we can still finish bottom 3 (unlikely i know) but definately 15th, lets get > 50 points and a nailed on top 10 before we chop and change, but tbh if it means Man U winning the title and we play youngans and get hammered, I wont be too happy, I just think we should play our strongest squad possible in every game, and see where we end up.

    You're in decent form at the minute unlike many teams above you... Why not let MoN play what he thinks is the best team and finish as high as possible

    if none of the fringe players get a shout we could let a gem disappear, imagine if jm kept getting ignored and moved on undiscovered

    But he sees them in the reserves, in training, on loan, in pre season, why does he have to play them and risk getting beat, they make a mistake, it knocks their confidence, they play crap from then on, and we sell them anyway.

    catch 22 but i still say play our best team and see where we end up.

    **** knows.

    you think MON will sell him then even though he cost us 8million rising to 12 million.

    If he is thinking about selling him now, then whats the point of playing him, maybe he already knows hes not good enough.

    Or maybe he knows he is going to keep Bendtner next season.

    Maybe he just wants to win games, so is playing our inform striker = Bendtner

    yes cannot argue with his recent form ,but for a lot of games bendy should have been taken off not for the fact he wasnt making any in roads but its infurating to see a plodder with no spark to his play ,it would benifit the team with a cf who closes defenders down in the last throws of a game ,i for one will be gutted if he stays i would much rather have a working cf who helps take the pressure off

    We are trying to instill a wining mentality therefore should always field strongest team for me. Also, the higher up the league the more money the club receives.

    Regarding Conner Wickham I read somewhere he was still suffering from growing pains and the club needed to be careful with him. Remember Jack Colback and James McClean are 22 CW has just turned 19 last week.

    Play strongest team we have each and every game. We will look a better proposition to new players finishing 7th rather than 15th as we easily could if we take our eye off the ball. Wickham will have plenty of chances at this club, he is only 19 after all. Funny things can happen to you when your 18/19 physically especially when your a big lad like he is, I think he will come good in the end and it would help if the crowd really got behind him when he does come on.

    Would love to see Connor getting more game time but unless MON has made his mind up not to sign Bendy how can you drop him on current form.

    Stick with best 11.

    this forum for a long time was promoting the lad noble , his scoring rate is incredible , before you mention size,hes the same size and with the same finnishing ability as clough if you saw him play. dont get me wrong im not unhappy, far from it its just nice to look ahead a bit instead of the are we going to go down feeling for a change

    If you ask the Villa fans you hear that MoN has his 11, and will just play them bar injury. I however wouldmnot play Bendtner whom I would noy be buying innthe summer but would give the Ji Wickham and Campbell ladsna fair shake.

    Bendtner has more ability in his little toe than Ji and Campbell put together. Apart from signing Sess on a long term deal signing the Danish loon up would be my next move, if you get a full season out of bender like the last 6 weeks he would be class for us.

    Don't think he was as bad as many made out before that. When he was out the team we missed him so he can't have been that poor. He is easily the best forward at the club by many a mile.
