    As it stands. We’re going to be fully fit for the play offs

    If Samed is 100% for tomorrow i'd start him. Need to see if anyone in the squad can fill the Jobe role incase he misses anymore games.

    Patterson
    Browne Mepham O'Nien Hume
    Aleksic Neil Samed
    Roberts Isidor Mayenda

    Another game where I doubt we'll see much of the ball. 1-1, Isidor.

    Couldn't agree more ...

    ... I can't understand how some people can so happily write off such a good player.

    In an ideal world, would like to see our play-off starting 11 ready and fit for the Oxford and QPR games...Between now and then, lets get some minutes into some of these squad players

    My worry is we won the away fixture which makes me nervous about winning the home game, so lets ignore that and hope the lads chalk up another double.
    Pesky superstitions. No injuries please.

    What’s the story with Trai.
    Doesn’t he have a hip injury.
    Would it be any help to him if he’s rested for a couple of games or is it something very minor.
    I think I heard he was getting pain killing injections but I could be wrong. It’s possible they intend to treat him when the season’s over.

    Result is largely inconsequential. Certainly not one to be nervous about

    Aye, why not. He has looked like a fish out of water the odd bits I have watched him, but if Regis thinks he may need him in the play offs he will need to get up to speed to English football before hand. One thing I dont think will change is the core midfield of Neil and Jobe doesnt change barring injury. Rigg another who will play a lot of minutes. So Le Fee is he is fit will be the wildcard who could play instead of Rigg. Samed is at best a closer for the last 10 or 15 mins. Even then young Jones is ahead of him on my book so far.

    Sounds like he'll ease them all back in for the play offs. Sensible. Treat next 5 games like a preseason

    I know but superstitions are superstitions and don't really make sense, just wish I could ignore them.

    I'd have him in ahead of Browne every day of the week. Wouldn't be against Jones starting though

    Personally think we’ve used samed all wrong so far

    you play one or the other with him and Neil. They’ve always played together so our midfield tempo has been slow

    Really pleased Jobe is being rested again.

    I also think seeing Rigg in the “8” position is all about getting him comfortable there should Jobe get a more serious injury and need to miss playoffs.

    Genuinely think our squad is being managed well and the injuries may even end up aligning well for the actual end goal

    No pressure on us whatsoever in my humble opinion. I hope RLB just tells them to go and enjoy themselves. Lets just go for it.
    I think Swansea will make a decent game of it but if we are anywhere near our best surely 3 points are ours.
    Hopefully us fans can just sit back and enjoy it.
    Anyway after all that b*llocks I am going for 4-1 to the cuddlies. Mepham, Mayenda, Hume (with a penna) and O9s left buttock to score.

    He hasn't been fit to use him wrong.

    So are you superstitious about us playing Swansea, or are you nervous about it? Either way, we could win 5-0 or lose 0-5 tomorrow and it wouldn't matter

    I vowed never to change my lucky underpants until we were back in the Premier League ...

    ... they're working well this season, just a shame the lads I used to travel with have all stopped coming.
