E.G.Red Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Made 10 changes for the game against Birmingham. Is that really fair on the other teams at the bottom. There should be a league rule that no moe than 6 players can be changed from one game to the next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 87 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Some fringe players with a point to prove and playing for a place going into the play offs, might make it tougher for brum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't make that many change in the chekatrade trophy without getting fined. But no point having a squad if you can't use them I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of us still involved at the bottom put ourself in to this random lottery. Team making changes to keep players fit for the play offs, playing kids to have a look at them in a nothing match for them, whatever. The cards have dealt us a hand where we have to play our last two matches against teams (most likely) with something to play for. Only way to avoid this end of season lottery is to be safe by now.

CotswoldRed Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 It's not fair, but the rules need to cater for this sort of thing. If they don't, tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 You'd think that Huddersfield would want to finish the season as strongly as possible especially as 2nd leg home advantage is at stake plus teams tend to do better if they go into the Play Offs with a winning momentum. Sheffield Wednesday's GD is far superior as well whilst Reading are at home to Wigan. Interesting move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daored Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 If we were in Huddersfield's position, would anybody complain if we played a 'weakened' team to keep players fresh for the two play off games? I certainly wouldn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Yes, they have to look out for themselves and fair play to Wagner. I don't agree or like it, totally unfair on other teams but it is down to the FA. And the last thing I'd say. Teams have done this before for PO's and come unstuck, lost all momentum. I hope they get to the final, a good mate is From that way and is a bit bewildered as to how good they've been this year. Hope he gets a day out at Wembley but I'd be looking to avoid Fulham before the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Pointless. Players don't need a rest ffs. Watch them lose this game and then lose their first playoff game because they have no momentum. Will serve them right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Well if it helps them avoid Fulham then it's the right move. Wouldn't want to be playing them in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Just lumped a few pennies on Hudds to win at 13/2. I expect a few changes at HT with Brum down to 10 and maximise on the extra man and Leeds losing. Can see this being a 2-1 win for Hudds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_eastender Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 They may not be breaking any rules, but seems incredibly poor sportsmanship, making 10 changes, totally disrespectful to the others fighting to avoid relegation.

Red Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 So what reason would they give not to play their full strength team available, Or am i missing something. 24 Requirement to Play Full Strength Sides in League Matches 24.1 Each Club shall play its full strength in all Matches played under the auspices of The League unless some satisfactory reason is given. In the event of the explanation not being deemed satisfactory the Board shall refer the matter to a Disciplinary Commission which has the power to impose such penalties as it shall think fit.

JoeAman08 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Yea it's definitely against the rules to do what they did but they'll get a small fine. I can remember I think Luton or a team like that who made about 6 changes in the JPT(or whatever it's called now) and were fined something like 5k. Maybe more for a championship club and for more changes but they'll take a fine I'd imagine to stay fit and have a chance at millions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
