No rain 5 miles away
Is there a pitch we can use there? Couldnât be any worse than Holker Street!
But you have taken it out of context because your strongest team will vary based on all the variables (and some) that Iâve mentioned!!!
It wonât be the same best 11 all season no matter whos tired!!
In pub a mile and a half from the ground. obviously been a decent amount of rain here but only spotting now although clouds are quite dark
As I said, it couldnât be any worse than Holker Street. Looks like Wembley in comparison. ![]()
Then I donât get what youâre disagreeing with then? Because the reason people are suggesting changes is because first team players clearly have empty tanks. Doesnât matter how good you are if youâre knackered
I think what heâs trying to convey is that youâd choose the best XI on the day, like taking into account whos on a shit run of form and whos knackered
And you have a better view ![]()
So exactly like this:
I dunno why, but I ainât like midweek games. No injuries, rule of five subs allowed is still active and just good result.
What Iâm saying is, I donât believe Kinsella, Hutchinson, Comley are tired and I wouldnât rest them tonight.
Hutchinson didnât play well Saturday we are all agreed, but my feeling is that was more to do with spending most of the game watching the ball go over his head and never being forward in time before it went back or back on time before it was lumped forward. Heâs still been the top performer in midfield over the 4 games and with neither Knowles RAM or Earing making a big case for a start I wouldnât change it.
Itâs quite possible White is carrying a knock and Bennet is an obvious change or itâs possible tactically itâll be a more open game and suit Knowles wide ahead of Allen but I dont believe itâll be due to tiredness.
On the other hand, it may suit Abrahamâs up top if Barrow like to push players forward and leave gaps and that would also suit the fact that at 36 Williams may well need a freshen up and a night off.
Then I donât believe you watched the game last week. The ball wasnât flying over Hutchinsonâs head, he didnât involve himself. He didnât press. He didnât effect the play at either end. Yes we let Stevenage dictate the style of play the last 20 minutes (when he wasnât even on the pitch) but that wasnât the case all game.
He dropped deep and picked up the ball first half ⌠then did absolutely nothing with it.
On one hand youâre saying none of our players are tired and you donât think there should be any changes:
And on the other saying if we do make changes it wonât be to do with resting players ![]()
Bennett for Allen
Timmy for Williams
I said I wouldnât rest the midfield three as I dont think they need it and I think theyâre too important.
Looks like Mr Flynn agrees
Clarke F misses out again. As a loanee, I just donât know how he fits in - and it will only get worse for him when the injured players come back.
Hes not ready though is he, i think subs and cups for him at best.
I expected Bennett for Allen but surprised at Abraham for Williams. It sounds as if it might be a heavy pitch where pace is less effective.
If he was a permanent I could see the logic (one for the future) but heâs only on loan. Surely Norwich would be expecting him to get more game time?
