Horses for courses Wilson has to start our last scorer there.
Need to find any player with an ounce of energy left to play use the youngsters if need be.

 

[torchomatic]

Always enjoy the Blackburn trip. A comfortable win would be nice. Would stick with Collins.

Time to give some of the academy lads that have been on the bench a few minutes off the bench.

Well probably have to anyway. If you said let’s not play anyone carrying an injury or not here next season you’re limited to:

Collins/Wilson
MvE Thomas Kitching Bidwell/Dasilva
Eccles Allen
Simms Palmer Wright
Godden

If we say Godden isn’t here next year then it’s a kid.

 

[edgy]

If we have to play Simms wide, then I'd rather play Kai Andrews over Godden.

It’s the only way I could fit everyone into a team. But yeah I think it shows unless we push players carrying an injury we need kids in the last three games.

 

[shmmeee]

Actually you could play Dasilva wide left and Wright wide right, but… no

 

[PVA]

Wilson
MVE - Thomas - Binks - Dasilva
Eccles - Torp
Palmer - O'Hare - Wright
Simms

Hoping/wishful thinking that Binks and Torp are OK to play.

Andy Turner had an update Coventry City injury blow as four out and one set to see surgeon

Would like to see Andrews given an opportunity in the remaining games, maybe as sub in this game.

Wilson has to come back in.

Season is over, id play as many kids from the academy as we can now. Definitely wouldnt risk injuries to Wright Simms MVE Sheaf that could affect their pre season as players are expected to keep themselves fit and training in the off season and an injury now could fuck a player's whole pre season preparations and we need a good start next season.

Yep, proves why Wright Simms Sheaf MVE Thomas Bidwell Eccles Palmer shouldnt play again this season, wrap them up in cotton wool and make sure they are fit and raring to go for pre-season.
Allen should play remaining games as should Kelly and Godden. Kitching needs to prove in the next three games his recent loss of form is just a blip.

I don’t think it’s even possible to drop all of those players and put something respectable out on the pitch.

Love to be wrong, but can't see anything other than a Blackburn win (fine by me, as long as Blues go down, ) Agree with others, let's not risk players carrying knocks. Play some kids if necessary.

Ending the season with 7 defeats out of 8 doesn’t really appeal to me.

 

[Macca]

Keep our star men out of the shop window and also avoiding unnecessary injuries

 

[Macca1987]

I'm with Brighton on this one, losing 7 out of last 8 games doesn't give a sense of what the season has been about

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Id play Lusala, Andrews and bring Dausch off the bench

Also got to think about how that carries into the next season. At least try to take some sort of momentum.

 

[David O'Day]

play our best fit team, fucking stupid not to

 

[robbiethemole]

A couple of loans inJanuary would’ve helped

 

[rexo87]

Wilson

MVE Kitching Bidwell Dasilva

Sheaf Eccles

Ohare

Wright Palmer

Simms

Torp for Sheaf if he is fit.

As long as we win I don’t care who we play

 

[blunted]

Think Wilson will start along with one or two of the kids. We have several injuries and serious fatigue. They are desperate. Won't be surprised if we lose.

 

[SBT]

If they’re not in Robins’ thinking for next season then I don’t really see the point

Just to get us through the game without risking injury to others.

Nor me - bigger picture, though. If we beat QPR and Ipswich for example, great, but will still mean little other than a bit of a pick me up. We all know that it is the summer activity that is now important. I would really like Ipswich to fall short, as I don't think they will be as successful next season. Really like shot of Leeds, Leicester (spit) and Southampton/West Brom.

 

[Diogenes]

I think Southampton have shot their load

 

[messiahrobins]

Probably isnt, but ill take 3 defeats to keep the lads safe and ready to go next season.
If we want to win the league, and i really think with just a little bit of final touches this summer we could give it a go, we absolutely have to have a really good start. Wright Palmer Latabadieure playing the Copa America isnt ideal albeit will be great experience for them.
Also, Doug could do with investing more into the Academy, while its pretty good at the moment, we dont produce that many top youngsters and it would be nice to see the youth teams dominate at the level they play at.
I know we are not Man City, but the first thing Guardiola did when he went there was get the Academy sorted out (its the best in the world along with Barcelona) and i think all the youth teams play exactly the same way the first team does.

For the integrity of football we play our best team available .. id be gutted if I supported Huddersfield and Coventry lined up against Blackburn with loads of kids

Whilst I agree I’d much prefer Blackburn to stay up over Birmingham
