Agree with this. Rest key players. Tues replay must take priority, with the possibility no matter how remote of winning and profitting by £500,000 +. Of course, some of the new signings may even impress enough to play themselves into the game tues.

Believe two of the new boys are cup tied and Villa lad was not registered in time so none availability for Tuesday,

Agree we should freshen up but to many changes and the team will struggle to form a cohesive pattern.

Rest one or two but not wholesale changes ,

We need to get the points on Saturday if we are serious about the playoffs as we have some tough matches in February.

Lose on Saturday and our task gets harder and harder ,

Yes good point about new players being cup-tied. Silly me.

Who would posters rest tomorrow, if any, with Tues in mind. Personally I see Butler. Amond. Willmott and Bennett as the key players to 'protect'. Probably haven't got alternates at CB.

More snow forcasted for eastern England today, a good chance this one could be called off, it would be a godsend to us if it was the lads would'nt have all that traveling to do and a little extra rest before boro.

Highly unlikely to be called of 24 hours in advance surely? In which case the travelling element will be inevitable.

Townsend
Forbes Poole O Brien Demetriou Neufville

Dolan Labadie Kennedy
Azeez Amond


If Townsend is going to play the replay then go for him in goal, to keep him up to speed. Give Labadie another 75/80 mins and also swap Amond after 65ish mins as he'll have a point to prove up there.

Any of the new players even if they're not cup tied are uneligible to play in a replay

If the stadium and surrounding area is covered in snow now with more forcast frew the day I don't think it would thaw by tomorrow afternoon, the clubs affected should be given leave to call games off early to save opposition teams and their supporters from traveling in such bad conditions.

I'd be happy with that

did you see us play Tuesday ?


What pattern did we play with then with 11 who have played the majority of our games

I would play:

Townsend (fair play to the guy, looked a little rusty against Middlesborough but understandable)

Butler, Poole, O’Brien, Demetriou, Willmott

Labadie, Bennett, Kennedy

Azeez, Amond


Subs: Day, Neufville, Forbes, Bakinson, Dolan, Matt, Mckirdy

.Townsend

Pipe Poole ,Bennett , O'Brien , Neufville

Labadie

Kennedy Dolan

Amond McKirdy

Subs
Azeez, Sheehan, . Day , Forbes ,Bakinson, Marsh Brown, Crofts ( if fit)

( Give Butler , Matt , Wilmott and Demetiou a game off and dont even take them as MF will probably start with those four on Tuesday)
