He can have favourites, just as long as they are the best players.

I think keeping our best two strikers on the bench, to come on in the last third of the game, is a strange tactic!

ToMo is the one carrying the knock ( to his head ).

No strange tactics, play your best side from the start. Make changes if you have to, not to introduce your best players later in the game.

5 subs, and Bennett is still on the pitch?

Why don’t we start our best side?

So are we.

A win will make promotion easier, but will not guarantee it. The same as not winning will mean we can’t be promoted. I would think the game against Cardiff would have more bearing.

The only “ Must Win” game at the moment is the play-off final.

Match day, I woke early, can’t get back to sleep because I am excited. Same as it ever was.

Mathematically, at this time, the only game we cannot afford to lose, is the play-off final. Obviously it will be easier if we win them all . And the situation changes with every result.

I just hope we beat them.

I hope by tonight we will be able to say. Rovers strong restart is really putting the cat amongst the play-off pigeons.

And your point is?

We won’t catch West Brom, but we might catch Brentford. Boing boing baggies

If we started with that side I would be happy.

Apart from Travis and Holtby!

With Brereton I would start him with an attacking partner against the teams with weaker defences. And yes I would class Wigan as one of those weaker teams.

The problem is, that the other member of your minority, it ToMo.

Your basing this on some hypothetical player who has no football nounce. That is not Downing. Perhaps Downings positional play did not allow Brentford to quickly break. All I can say is that Downing of the players available, has been our most effective left back.

I have yet to see a list win a match

I couldn’t give a toss who plays where, as long as we win.

At least your reasonings makes sense

Nyambe, Holtby, Armstrong, Dack

I stand corrected. Does anyone know if he can or cannot play, if required?
