Lets field a weaken team and get hammered, good for confidence. Always play your strongest team and go for the points. (They are needed) not just off the so called weaker teams? You might as well take a mug of cocoa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abraham Romanovich Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 In fairness to the OP on the BBC website SC says "We've got a busy three weeks with Saturday-Tuesday games. "With the size of our squad, it might impact on us further down the line. "There's a couple of things I might change [against Brentford] because of the games we've got ahead". "I want to rotate areas which hopefully won't weaken us too much, but try and get out a good, competitive team." which I also read as less concerned about this game and wants our strongest team for more winnable games; he's not going there to lose.

BRISTOL86 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Ultimately SC is the manager and with a hugely congested fixture schedule, faces a no win situation. On the one hand we have to be realistic at where our best chances of picking up points are. Looking at the coming fixtures, Brentford away isn't the most likely source of 3 points. However if he changes too much and we take a hammering then he will be slated. I think we would all be delighted with 3 points from the next two games, and it's far more likely they will come against Carlisle than tonight. Difficult position to be in.

pride of the west Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 To the OP you cant drink on CATS. Its against the law to drink on any official, private hired or public transport if travelling to an away match. Its been that case for 25 years.

In fairness, I don't think you guys need to come to the defence of your man on this one. I think it's fair enough that he's "rotating" a few so that he can play his absolute best side on Saturday as put simply: we have a much better chance of winning that game and it is a "6-pointer" of sorts. His error is of course alluding to the fact that he may be weakening the team, which isn't very heartening for the fans spending the time, money and effort to go to tonight's game.

HoldenBall Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I hope he does rotate and change, we need a more solid midfield and the RWB position sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 He's a manager with a new squad and he needs to know what players can and can't do. Perfectly reasonable, it's just a pity that it's in mid-season when we're in the drop zone. And, like him, I don't think that videos are any substitute.

BUTOR Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Play the strongest possible the for each game. Footballers should be able manage 4 games in two weeks. If they say they can't that is simply pathetic. My (very) local team, Bishop Sutton, last season had to play 5 games in one week and a half, and they're in the bloody toolstation Premier!

I don't think its an issue of playing too many games in a week I think its a situation where he tried something in a game where he had nothing to lose really and it hasn't worked so he is going to change it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
