AussieDog Posted 14 December, 2009 Share Posted 14 December, 2009 Just to add another contentious opinion in here.....if you had to pick one player you couldn't afford to be without against Leeds (and thus resting him from tonights game)....who would it be? My vote goes for Bart!! ....but there again I'm a gambling man so I would just pick our strongest available side (meaning 100% fit players so if anyone was carrying a knock I would rest them). With regards to the "amnesty" at the end of the month for players with 5 bookings....wouldn't it make more sense to have the amnesty based on how many games they had played, rather than a time frame? Maybe if a player gets to 20 games without a suspension they get a card "dropped off" the list and then for every 5 games they then lose another one.

the saint in winchester Posted 14 December, 2009 Share Posted 14 December, 2009 Sorry if someone has already raised this - its late, I can't read every post in full .... I saw earlier a comment that Ap is likely to rest the 4 players on 4 yellows as he wants to take a full strength side to Leeds. Concerned. I'd like to win this match as it gets us closer to our day out at Wembley and silverware in the cupboard. I'd chance it. If any of them get another booking and suspended for the weekend, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Let's go for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big John Posted 15 December, 2009 Share Posted 15 December, 2009 Genuine question: is there any intel on whether Norwich will field a strong XI or shove out what amounts to a reserve or youth side? If Grant Holt doesn't play we will win. I expect to see him on the bench and should it be tight towards the end he may come on to have a crack. Other than him we have quite a lot of strength in depth compared to a mjority of teams at this level imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian the Red Posted 15 December, 2009 Share Posted 15 December, 2009 Draw at 90 mins and then go out on pens. The league has to be our main thrust this season. We have put ourselves in the position to push onto the play offs, so frankly a day out at Wembley would wonderful, but at the play offs final 29th May 2010. We do not need three more games; it's three more games that risk injury and suspension to key players. OK rest the 5 key players and if we win well do the same in the area final, but we must rest our key players for the league matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFKA South Woodford Posted 15 December, 2009 Share Posted 15 December, 2009 After Saturday and the spirit and atmosphere of the occasion, I want to go tonight, but seeing as the game is only three and a half hours after my operation to have two wisdom teeth removed, I don't think i'll be in any fit state to attend.

It's only red cards that mean the ban starts from the next game? I think you're right actually. Cards from tonight leading to a total of 5 would not mean a suspension until next Tuesday. Good spot,so the players involved would miss the boxing day game (ie 26th December cos to me that's Boxing Day) against Exeter. Nowhere near so onerous as missing the Leeds game. Serve 1 game and come back sharp and rested for the Colchester match. Cue me up 5 yellow cards tonight then.

eelpie Posted 15 December, 2009 Share Posted 15 December, 2009 We should go all out for a win tonight - but we have to start the game in a positive determined mind-frame, not like we did against Tranmere (in the first half) when the players looked like they were suffering from a morning-after-office-party, and distinctly seemed like they wanted to be elsewhere, miskicking all over the place! Imho this is more important than against Leeds on Saturday because Leeds are so far ahead in the table that they are not going to dictate our season and play-off ambitions. And we will tonk them at St Marys anyway. But one game at a time. I expect a win tonight, after an uncertain start (if Saturday is to go by) so 2-1 COYR!

Weston Saint Posted 15 December, 2009 Share Posted 15 December, 2009 My choice Bialkowski Thomas, Jaidi, Trotman, Mills Waigo, Schniederlin, James, Lallana Lambert, Connolly (or rest one of them and bring in Paterson) On the bench Antonio, Wotton, Perry (rested ready for Leeds) Paterson (or the forward rested to give him a start) Forecast, Mellis, and Harding (just in case) Looking at the squad list there is very little left. May be Holmes will feature somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
