Who would you risk & who would play? I'd like to see Donaldson, petresso, sharif & yun start, give AJ a run out, rest Barton, simp, dunne, nedum, ravel but give charlie 45mins.
He could play the U18's if he wants, won't affect our league position. Agree that Charlie needs some game time
If he doesn't play Petrasso, Donaldson etc. in this most meaningless of games then he never will. So he won't.
I do think we should play a 'strong' team, but only 45-60 mins for the likes of Austin, Barton, Hoilett etc.. Also I would certainly rest Dunne completely. Perhaps: ----------------------GREEN------------------------ SIMPSON----ONUOHA--HILL----ASSOU-EKOTTO --------------BARTON---CARROLL----------------- O'NEIL-----------MORRISON-----------TRAORE -------------------AUSTIN------------------------- Then after 45-60 mins, all being good with the other players - replace Traore for Hoilett and Austin for Zamora. Then later on Barton for Henry. Something like that anyway! But knowing HR, it won't be anything like it!
So the decision is split then? Only last week we had a thread saying we should be playing our best team into the play offs for momentum and familiarity, now we have a thread saying we should rest our senior players? im finding it hard to keep up TBH hence not posted much. Its not a dig at you Jeff (or others) just the constant flip-flopping is confusing me Personally I'd rest the "1st team" players and do some work on set pieces and tactics, to keep them fresh for the upcoming play offs...I know others will disagree though !
I'd like us to play our best side and tell them to play with freedom, expression and pace. I'd then spend the time until the first leg working on defence.
No chance of any youngsters getting a look-in, they might just be good enough to embarrass our highly-paid wasters and have everyone asking why the f*ck hasn't Harry given any of them a game during the season?...
After Saturday's performance I'd like us to play our best and strongest team to get them working together better. That said there are some players who we should probably not risk. I keep hearing Andy Johnson is doing well. Maybe give him a run out.
I'd certainly give some youngsters a go. Mix it up a bit will ya, Harry! Make it a Dinosaur free day !
As Arry will not risk Donaldson, he must play Hughes He must play Suk-Yung He must play Traore He must play Kranky He must play Henry And he must play Austin for 60 minutes I would also rest Green....another fumble and he will really quiver in the playoffs Carroll has and endless engine so he can play, Barton should be on the bench So I think my team is Murphy Suk-Yung, Ned, Hill, Hughes Henry (Barton) Carroll Traore (Benni) Kranky Morrison Austin(AJ)
I think he should warm up the team he expects to play in the Play-offs. As Arry probably hasn't played the same start 11 once this season (??), or rarely, and appears not to know what his best team is, it will be the only chance to get them to play together as a team in a half serious game. But if he went with this idea he'd probably change his mind again before the first semi!
Is there any chance of streams being available for this game? In other words, is this on TV anywhere in the world?
Mine neither mate!! I think we should rest a lot of players except the ones who still need game time to get their fitness up.
