Hmmmm I say play some of the youngsters... Is it time to make a statement re our future?!? Or is it time, yet again, to opt for the same bunch of failures who've so brilliantly wrought a season of utter capitulation?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Youth vs. Watford or experience?!?

So you'd go for the same 16 or so, who've proven week in week out to be almost not good enough for this division under two permanemnt managers!?!? Bugger it... I want to see some high energy football, take Bournemouth, half of our starting XI simply can't live with that kind of pace and power - hence we're right up shit creek.
Nah; we need a different kind of experiment, I'm bored with the same old, same old chemistry kit circa 2015....

Going for youth against a team going for automatic promotion could be seen as trying to give them three points to aid the promotion push and could lead to a fine / points deduction for us (seen as unsporting or deliberately throwing the match)
Besides, you have to go with experience and who knows, win our last 2 games may start to lift the gloom thats hung over the club since losing to Derby in the play-offs and start to lead to the road to recovery (it won't fix all but possibly a small chink of light breaking through, helping confidence and belief to start to return)

The only way we would opt for the "kids" over experience is if Millwall lose their match against Blackburn on Tuesday. Should that happen then we would be safe, with a far superior goal difference even if we lose the last two games.
I must admit it would be good to see some fresh faces in the side to inject a bit of excitement and passion into the team. Something that has been sadly missing in the last few weeks.

No i would drop all loan players apart from Bennett and play our players.
Agree. Appearing to roll over deliberately could have unfortunate repercussions. However, if Millwall lose on Tuesday, we could give one or two youngsters a shot - Walton and Rea, perhaps. I haven't heard of anyone else being touted as anywhere near a first team place yet.

This with bells on and I would even drop Bennett, the way he is getting roasted and play a DS player in there. Would have preferred Chicksen but he is out on loan.

Let CMS and possibly Kaz have what might well be a last hurrah. Best we shall take as gone anyway.

Now is not the time for youth irrespective of current form stick with experience and hope, pray, shout for a win against Watford. The worst scenario is a Millwall win Tuesday, if that happens a win is a must against either Watford or Middlesbro.

Don't get your maths there. You honestly believe that Millwall WILL beat Derby and Wolves then? Take the 125s if I were you.

They could quite possibly beat Blackburn, who have nothing to play for, to take them to 43pts. They will then be up for a fight against Derby and a draw against them will take it to the last day having to beat Wolves, and us needing a draw against Boro if we don't get any points against Watford.
Rotherham could find 3 pys from 3 games. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that this will go to the last day, but Blackburn could do us a favour and end our season on Tuesday.

Even when we don't get another point, we're not going down.

Would it really ?
Reading fielded an entirely changed team against Watford last month before their cup replay against Bradford - they inevitably lost and they were never fined. We would NEVER get fined for it unless they actually had proof and if we are safe from relegation and the FL question why we played a youth team - all we would have to say is that we had nothing to play for and were experimenting/looking at fringe players. They cannot fine you for that and if they did it would end up in court.
Oh and id throw some youth players in myself, along with those out of contract so they can have 1 last chance at proving their worth.

Yep, I've been thinking this for weeks but am hoping it doesn't go to the last day of the season. Hopefully Blackburn will see that it doesn't tomorrow.

They will certainly struggle to get anything v Derby, if they're still alive then.
