Because sometimes players surprise you. I don't think anyone expected Callum Wilson to be given such a first team chance as up to then he'd hardly been pulling up trees in the youth ranks or on loan.
The other option is to put Bidwell there and get him to play more offensively. But even then I'd want to give Reid a runout for 30 mins just to see.
I expect it to not work, but I'd rather have found out for sure when a free hit arises rather than just letting the opportunity pass by.
Not for me - I’ve paid money to watch this game, let Robins and the players experiment on their own time, I want to see us win.
(Happy to admit I’m wrong if Josh Reid or Fabio Tavares end up having a career on a par with Callum Wilson though)

How do you give players competitive first team games on their own time?
I want to see us build for the future and be successful long term. If that means writing off two meaningless games now to try and do so then so be it.
Do you think the senior players won't be thinking towards next season and wanting to make sure they don't get injured? The young lads would be playing for their futures.
You watch them train every day until they’re ready.
Josh Reid isn’t going to start blossoming into Marcelo if he just plays enough meaningless first team games. Robins is already well aware of his talent level - you and I may need the benefit of watching first team games to figure that out, but he doesn’t.

If we lose the last couple in theory we could fall as low as 16th - what’s the point of pointing players in just to get battered

Got to to with his strongest team, I think MR knows this and they owe it to us fans for the last home game.

Season is over, playing with no pressure. 5-1 win with O'Hare getting 2.

With that scoreline there’s a possibility it wouldn’t be!

Pete, you’re a religious guy. Maybe you could list the top ten miracles and we can see where we fit in?

It would make the last weekend of the season interesting if we won 3 nil and QPR did a number on Sheffield Utd. Sheffield Utd have Fulham at home on the last day of the season and they are a team who can score 3 or 4 on a good day. 1000/1 but not impossible!!

2000/1 for us to make top 6, QPR are 1000/1 - stuck a couple of quid on each, you never know...

Think those six points we imo gifted QPR would probably been sufficient to get a play-off spot.

Let’s be realistic - there’s going to be a small army of kids with cardboard signs, and several thousand grown men openly weeping if they don’t get a Shipley/Jones/Tavares swansong, I might have to leave at 85 minutes.

1 - Grendel agreed with another poster on SBT
2 - Pete agreed he was too optimistic about players management and owners and agreed to adopt some cynicism
3 - Nick agreed that smashing into a player early doors is not the measure of a great player
4 - Peace breaking out regarding the Brexit thread with everyone agreeing to agree to disagree
So having worked it out us gaining 6 points and 9 goals and everyone above us losing both games comes in at number 5
