Should we field a full strength team against Wrexham?

[Icy Gull]

To hell with what Gus thinks is best for the purposes of this poll, what would YOU do?

No fence either

 

[fire&skill]

No. We field the squad that played yesterday.

 

[bhawoddy]

As a sensible guess, i think we should field a team which can win the game without risking too many of our star players.

 

[Steve Foster]

Definitely field the strongest team possible. If all goes well & we are 2-0 up, bring on the youth where possible.

 

[Arkwright]

May be a bit late but if we would have feilded our strongest side on Saturday we would be looking forward to Newcastle at home instead of a long trip to Wrexham.

Rather we played the full reserve team. If we don't get through, oh well- we have Palace on Tuesday after Toon game, if we do get through, bonus!

I think the experience for the players from the development squad who played yesterday will stand us in good stead. It was great to see that the style of football we play thoughout the club now means that players can just slot straight in and look comfortable. I had no complaints yesterday so not fair to have a moan now we've got the chance of a big team at home.

We now need to do all we can to win at Wrexham, strongest possible team for me.

I don't know, honestly, what makes the whole situation so annoying is that that if we do that it has far more impact on our players than it would have to field a full strength (or two players stronger) team and win the game yesterday.

I'm not really that fussed now, if he puts out the whole development squad or the first team fine. But he was wrong yesterday.

I'm not just moaning now I have been moaning (well constructive criticism) since yesterday. Sure the younger players gained some experience however the name of the game is to win games and entertain, always, always field your best side. What did CMS and Bridcutt learn from yesterday other than the bench seats are warm and padded.

don't think CMS and Bridcutt were supposed to be learning anything yesterday were they?

 

[OSRGull]

A team like

Brezovan

Hall
Dunk
El Abd
Taricco

Buckley
Forster Caskey
Bridcutt
Sparrow

Barnes
CMS

I think that's a reasonably strong team that can get a result.

 

[Lady Gull]

Sound advice

and maybe more injuries like lua lua

 

[chucky1973]

i think any weaker than yesterday and it will be a mistake, the chance of some decent money coming to us if we win and its money we need.

i agree it should be stronger than yesterday then the class should show, a cup run would be great

 

[APACHE]

I'm in 2 minds on this after yesterday. We should have finished it at home but some of the young players showed better than the 1st teamers. But this is a chance for another big team at home and more money for better players. Slighty off the subject after his display inthe last 2 games I wouldn't be too unhappy if Dunk did leave after the way Hall has come into the side, when he moves forward with the ball he's so much more in control.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

What's the revenue that a home tie v Newcastle, plus possible replay plus possible telly money will generate? Its a complete no-brainer to put out our strongest side. The chairman should insist that the manager do so, just in case the manager was thinking of doing otherwise.

 

[Arkwright]

Maybe CMS could have refound the art of scoring which he has lost, what a great opportunity for him.

I'm sorry but I really don't get this resting players stuff. It's all part of the sport getting knocks we really can't wrap players up in cotton wool as Plooks said it's about winning and to do that you have to field your best / strongest available side. So now we are in a position where our players will have to play another 90 or even 120 minutes and further risk injury.

Second half squad deserve it imo
