Unan Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 We beat Derby to secure a playoff place. Do we rest players in our last game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Probably. The semi-final dates aren't fixed but last season they were less than a week after the final league game I think. There's then the bigger gap to the final. So yeh I'd have thought if we were mathematically guaranteed 6th or above we should definitely rest players like Fam, Weimann, Webster, Niki if he is back by then. But remember that Derby is no longer the penultimate game. We have the Millwall away game in that final week before the trip to Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Definitely. A rested team will give us a much greater chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordie Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Getting a bit ahead of ourselves here. If we lose tomorrow and Derby and Boro win will make it very close and can still go to last game yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Huddersfield rested players ahead of the POs....everyone said they’d lose momentum....they didn’t. Statistically, across 30 seasons: 3rd: 11 promotions 4th: 8 5th: 6 6th: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC11 Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 No chance I would rest anyone, if we are in good form I’d try to keep that confidence and momentum going for aslong as I possibly can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
