How many can we get away with, and which players are most in need off a rest?
Just put the Under 18s out
Gunnar and Arter perhaps, but with yet another free weekend coming up, there's not really any need for the team full of youngsters that Neil Warnock talked about - I reckon that was just him reacting emotionally to the events in the closing stages of yesterday's match.Quote:

I think Gunnarsson, Arter and maybe even Camarasa won't play, Niasse will be rested and we'll lose about 6-0
Just checked, we're only 16/1 to lose 6-0 whilst us even winning is 20/1
Most looked shattered from their efforts, we're not going to get any points and our goal difference is already shot, so I'd work the other way, who's fit enough from that 14?
Etheridge, Peltier, Bennett?, Manga, Ralls, NML, Zohore,
If we were playing Burnley Saturday I would rest every single one of them including Etheridge however as there's no game for 10 days I would go with the full team and pray for a miracle.
I suspect Niasse and definately Gunnar will not to be in the 11
2 games in 4 days is a bit much for some of the players who looked completely knackered. Fatigued players are also susceptible to injury. I'd give them a total rest, so that they can be ready for the last 6 games, including the 4 cup finals.
Under normal circumstances I’d be happy to see a second team put out, but given what Man City are going for, I’d worry about the Premier league record of 9-0 being beaten
Arter is one game away from avoiding a 10th yellow- amnesty kicks in after 32 games. If he plays and is booked then he’s out for the Burnley and Brighton games.
Don't even put Arter in the squad if that's the case, give him a rest
Yes absolutely correct.Quote:

We’ve only got 2 fit centre halfs for a start.
Is Cunningham injured ?
If not I’d maybe go
Etheridge, Richards, Morrison, Manga, Cunningham
Murphy Ralls Reid Bacuna Hoillet
Zohore
Squad ‘feels’ really thin with Bamba, Patterson and Connolly our for the season.
Not one defender on the bench on Sunday
When Morrison went down on Sat I was really worried.
Gunnar may get rested , Warnock wasn’t happy he played so many minutes whilst away on international duty ....
If Arter needs to be saved from a 2 match ban then do it! Bacuna and Ralls in for those 2 ?
Wouldn't rest anyone. We've got 7 games left and no game on the weekend. I'd maybe drop/protect Arter due to his tendency to pick up a yellow card and we can't afford that. But I'd pick the best side going and hope for a bit of luck. Stranger results have happened.
We go there to win if Palace can get a result there so can Cardiff.
There might be reasons for that....Quote:

Have we got any talented youngsters? I'd put them in for this game rather than Bacuna and Ralls.Quote:

Gunarsson has to be rested. He could barely stand up by the end of the Chelsea game.
Play the first team ffs.
