So... team for Saturday?

[Mellotron]

The benefits of playing him are
a) we can rest first choice players without it looking like we've fielded a weakened side (and upsetting the league), and he can help us keep our form going at the same time
b) he has a chance to earn a place in our playoff team (he hasn't been able to do much else recently, so the game time would help him get up to speed, if there's a chance he can play a part)

I reckon give him 30 mins or so. The longer he's on pitch the more chance of him getting injured, and he is massively injury probe.

 

[One Love]

Really want to see Barnes up front on his own to see if he can repeat that good performance against Blackpool.

 

[Triggaaar]

I reckon give him 30 mins or so. The longer he's on pitch the more chance of him getting injured, and he is massively injury probe.

So what if he gets injured? As it is he's not part of our first 11, and these are the last few games before his contract finishes. He needs to prove he's capable of being part of playoffs team - and I don't mean prove he can play football, we know he can, but prove he's up for it right now. If he can prove that in 30 minutes, fair enough, but I'd think he needs to prove he can do more. If he doesn't prove he can help us win the playoffs, then he'll never play for us again anyway, so it makes no difference if he's injured or not.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Vicente has to play at least 60 minutes.

I don't expect (or want) to see Koosh, Bridge, Calde, Lopez, Buckley, Ulloa, Bridcutt in the starting eleven and I would think Orlandi might have a rest too.

 

[Simster]

If Bruno is out for the play off semis, then I can't see Calde starting against Wolves.

 

[Sweeney Todd]

Calderon is suspended for the Wolves game.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Calderon is suspended for the Wolves game.

Spanish Dave at full back then?

 

[CHAPPERS]

If Lopez plays right back for no reason I'm SCREAMING at Poyet. That would be silly.

We've earnt the right to restat least half of our side and hope we do.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I'd let Marcos Painter play in the HOLE behind the striker. The amount of blood pouring from his nose would be enough to put off the Wolves defenders.

 

[finlaych]

I want to make sure we win and go in to the playoffs full off confidence, obviously it's only against a poor Wolves side so we should still have some rotation

[Skaville]

Not necessarily doubting you but what do the rules say? If a player has a squad number I'd have thought we've every right to play them. The club is doing whatever it can to win promotion that's its priority and if that means it rests players then that's its right I'd have thought. There used to be a rule in Prem but it got scrapped I think

Does anyone know the rules?

 

[Rugrat]

Does anyone know the rules?

Pretty clear in the Prem having looked. But imagining FL and Prem are not consistent .... otherwise why bother 2 governing bodies?
