    Cracking thread as always @RTB thank you for doing these.

    Wouldn't mind seeing young Harrison Jones getting some more minutes Saturday, looks a tidy player.

    Weather looks great, stadium close to a sell out, play offs secured. Should be a brilliant day.

    I really hope Cirkins back soon. I hate to say it because he seems a nice lad, but Hjelde is shyte.

    Watching the press conference. Hoping for Mundle to be back for playoffs. That’s the target. Huge boost!

    RLB:
    The target for Romaine Mundle will be the play-offs we will try to prepare him for this fixture.
    - he should be OK for this target.
    We will continue to ease Enzo Le Fee back into the fold.
    We deserve to be where we are, in this league you need consistency and we have achieved that, but we can't relax, we have to build momentum.
    We were really exhausted at Coventry, we need to be at the top for each game
    If you make mistakes in shape, the opponent can use this but our reaction was good, it is a question of adjustment.
    With 76 points we are in the top of 'our' championship as the other teams above have more resources.
    The character, connection with fans is important we need to use that.
    It is another opportunity to get new experiences,
    Jobe will not play
    We needed to take more risks at Norwich, we hope to find the right balance.
    For the season we worked well together, we can be proud but we want more.
    We have had strong challenges recently, it is a good reminder of how we have to be strong.
    Salis will be back.

    Jobe rested again tomorrow, makes sense - Salis in the squad

    That last comment is so fair

    we pushed as hard as we could but other teams simply have more money, depth and quality

    what a season we’ve had

    Makes sense

    Browne, jones, Salis, Neil in his role

    Rigg or aleksic in the advanced one

    imo

    Yeah probably, maybe he will be on the bench but Jobe isnt in the squad.

    Shame about jobe he brings so much to that midfield but no point risking him in a dead rubber

    It puts a different perspective on performances when you think players like Jobe have been maybe 85% fit in some games. No wonder they sometimes don't look fully 'at it'. This rotation period will hopefully do the squad a lot of good.
