the_mighty_bosh Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 This is a contender for the least important game in our history. For anyone who does care about the competition, there's no way that we can't finish top of the group, so there's nothing riding on it at all. With Scunny at home on Saturday and a great chance to get 9 or 10 points clear of the drop (and maybe even pushing towards mid table) added to the fact that we're short on fit players (going off not being able to fill the bench today), there's no way that we should be playing any player who played today who we need on Saturday. So with that in mind, are there any youngsters in particular that deserve a game? Surely confidence would be high for them after the 6-0 win against FCUM.

Magic Mikey Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 What are the restrictions on the number of changes you can make?I'd play a back four of DMaarms, his senior director source, a steward and the groundsman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be the previous three games, in which case we've rotated about 30 different players so we should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think many of the youngsters are ready to be called up. More likely a reshuffle with those left out at Hampton starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Well, it's just a shower room, he's got the bathroom!!! Anyway, I'd play Hough, Da Silva and Luamba tomoro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in that case I'd go for: Chapman Fage Jombati Jameson Barnett McCalmont Whelan Hough Keillor-Dunn Blackwood Grant If there's any other youngsters who could replace first teamers that would be ideal as well. Just as long as we don't play any key players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we should be prioritising the league and I would hope we do, but we live a fairly hand to mouth existance at the moment so wouldn't be surprised if we go as full strength as possible.

Fair enough. I'd still play the back four as above. Perhaps add Shitpeas to run the channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
