We have a game against Blackburn, with a dubiously fit team (illness,etc.) which we may well lose due to the aforementioned - but we still have to go for it.
This is followed by a Saturday game against Watford, who - even if we were at full strength (unlikely) could beat us comfortably.
Then, we play Wigan at home on Tuesday.
I would pick the strongest team available for Blackburn, then pick a completely second string, full of Josh Reid, Ryan Howley types to face Watford. Rest Hamer, O'Hare and all so that they will have had a full week's rest for the Wigan game (close to being a 'must win')
It would be a ballsy decision and fans going to Watford will obviously grumble, but the bigger picture is, if we are dead on our feet when we come to face Wigan, we could easily slip up in a game we should win.
