The joy of having a Browne/Hjelde full back choice, spoilt for choice.

Rigg desperately needs a rest like, which is to be expected.

Been the case for months. Very similar to Jobe this time last year.

2 separate 3 games without playing this year he's just poor atm

WATSON… what’s the fkn point ??

Giving the players we need for the play-offs a rest or avoiding risking them? Keeping him sharp in case needed for the play-offs (eg if Mundle doesn't recover)? Giving the team balance? We're paying his wages?

All sorts of reasons in reality.

 

[craigypants]

So...we start a player who doesn't want to be here...he signs for another club...we start him, with nothing to play for..yet, we keep Mayenda on the bench. Bonkers.

Hoping for a Watson stormer today. Would f***ing love it.

 

[chuckyroll]

No way I would be giving Watson any game time. His performances since the January window closed have been dreadful.

This

WATSON… what’s the fkn point ??

To preserve Le Fee. It doesn't matter if Watson gets injured, and he might provide a goal or an assist. We don't need to win this match, cynically speaking. Keep Enzo fit for the playoffs, he's only just returned from injury.

There are other players more worthy of game time

Why are we not starting our own players is the point? Fuck all to do about Watson having a good game or not.

 

[Cult of Personality]

Starts Aleksic on the RW and brings Jones in, in his favoured position. Aye, nice one RLB.

Excited to see how Jones gets on however.

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

Aleksic now behind Harrison Jones.

Play different positions, next.

Having said that: Aleksic should be playing instead of Rigg. One needs games, the other needs rest.

 

[Herberthall]

So he puts Alexsic out on the wing and puts Jones in his correct position

Beaten to it

all rise the lord samed the play off saviour is back on the bench

 

[Deleted member 50566]

My thoughts exactly. Get Mayenda on instead

Fair point but lest play a u18 a player who wants to be here …

Coz its about winning the play offs. Is Mepham our player?

 

[BarnesPark]

Agree- anyone using the phrase “doesn’t want to be here” cracks me up man.

No idea some people.

Watson is still our player ffs

Not for winning the play offs. Thats all that matters.

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

Is jobe still injured or are we resting him

He’s carrying a knock I think. But it’s the sort of knock that if this week were the play-offs, he’d play through it.

Needs a rest, either way. He really responds to rest as well, often comes back at top of his game.

Feel Neil and Rigg need some rest before play-offs, especially Rigg.

Is Cirkin going to be fit for play-offs?
