StevenageRam Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I wouldn't change anything at the moment. We still need 1 point to guarantee 3rd place and a potentially easier semi-final. We have good momentum at the moment and surely it would be great to take that into the play-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwash_Ram Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Go all out to get at least a point or 3 against watford, to secure 3rd, then just play kids/reserves against leeds .. give the entire squad a 2 week rest .. job done .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Leeds is where 11 changes need to be made. With players like Brown and Austin in their side they will just kick lumps out of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgoodspeak Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Absolutely not, I've got a double or quits bet on with a Leeds mate for the tie at Elland Road. Why should promotion to the Premiership cost me £100? Total BS.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Who mentioned goalies getting a rest? Think it was Vulcan. Good call that. If the rest of the squad are going to have a bit of tlc, Granty needs some too. Too often are goalies overlooked and his form of late has been great. He's as important as anyone else in the playoffs. Bring Adam in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Resting is all well and good but it just as easily knocks players out of their stride. When you're winning 4 games in a row, you can't change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Also if Leeds somehow manage to sneak a win v us we can just say we had the ressies out ;-) win win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'd fully expect to see Eustace, Bamford, Dawkins and Sammon start 1 of the last 2. Maybe Whitbread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're winning 4 games in a row, you can't change it. This is also true to be fair. It's just Leeds away, the thought of someone key getting injured by one of their big lumps. I'd be more inclined to not change it up if we were away at say Yeovil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yes I agree Eddie but I would like to get that point against Watford rather than potentially be chasing it against Leeds. Yes - that's why I don't agree with making wholesale changes. Perhaps a maximum of two out of Hughes for Hendrick, Eustace for Thorne, Sammon for Martin. I WOULD like to see Bamford get a central role at some time (even if it's for the last 20 minutes of a game) - the times we have seen him at his best have been those occasions when we have over-loaded with strikers when chasing a game, which has allowed him to move in from the wing.

Phoenix Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Keep the impetus and rapport going, no wholesale changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 But what if key players get injured and we have to get others in who haven't much game time? What happens to our chances then? Decisions...decisions...it's a tricky one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I would play.Martin every game but take him off early. We need to keep the pattern going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcsilks Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 v Watford give Martin a day off, play Sammon. Buxton played every game this season, give Whitbread a run out. Thorne out Eustace in, Hendrick out Bailey in. Maybe even a cheeky appearance for Max Lowe and that Hanson kid. If we lose, bring them all back for Leeds, win and they can all play again. Play offs are massive, time to protect as many as we can. Who's with me? No footage Disagree. Why on earth would you change a winning side? Players are just as likely to get injured in training as they are in a match. There's a reason Bailey, Whitbread, Lowe and Hanson never play. They're not good enough.

Srg Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Players could have gotten injured in any minute in any game this season. They are just as likely to turn an ankle in training as on a Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The replacements would have played their expected roles a hundred times already on the training ground.Yeah but would they have had a chance to actually gel together as players in an actual game? But nows just as good a time as any I suppose, now we're definately in the play offs - but wouldn't think we'd need any changes for these games? Just remaining fixtures?

Day Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Disagree. Why on earth would you change a winning side? Players are just as likely to get injured in training as they are in a match. There's a reason Bailey, Whitbread, Lowe and Hanson never play. They're not good enough. Because the play offs are massive, anything we can do to protect and minimise any risk of injury to our key players imo should be done. Winning run means nothing, play offs mean everything. And not good enough? For what playing 90 mins of football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtains Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The trouble is players can get injured in training as well so let's rap um up in Rammie or Mr Blobby suits LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Also, Buxton hasn't played every game this season, he was left out for Whitbread against Leeds. I believe the only player who's played every single game is Forsyth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
