There’s nothing to play for, so my inclination is that he might as well give youngsters and fringe players an opportunity to show what they can do.
He'd be stupid not to.
Colwill, Davies to start.
Unless it's already determined they will not be renewed, Harris, Sang and Bagan need to feature, moreso the latter two.
Denham, King on bench, possible Crole.
Don't throw 11 kids out there, but throw some in during the game.
Play Colwill with Ralls and Wintle and let him have a bit of freedom and put Davies up front with Etete(if he’s fit) or Kaba..
I'd not play the loan players. They may not be here next season, we're safe and as it's a dead rubber game, our lineup doesn't impact anything.
Alnwick
Ng McGuinness Simpson
Romeo Wintle Ralls O'Dowda
Colwill
Davies Etete
Look to bring Bagan, Denham, King, Sang (in midfield) on at some point during the game.
After Sundays shambles he should put out a strong team
Anyone but Ojo
Is Eli King fit? I'd be far more interested in seeing him play than any other youngster we have to offer, our midfield has been utter dross for the majority of the season, would be good to see if he can build upon what sounded like a decent loan out at Crewe
I’d like to see Davies start.
Yeah I agree.
I would love Colwill to have played more and done well, but realistically if I was the manager in a battle to stay up would I have played him, I can’t say I would have, to much of a luxury. If we were playing someone else other than Burnley I may have said yeah start him but it’s going to be tough enough as it is.
I'd start with Colwill and Davies behind Etete, then bring on Kaba later on. They both deserve to start.
Both teams have nothing to play for so yes.
So what?
It's just an utterly retarded view. "Oh, don't play the kids in a game where the result has no relevance whatsoever, who on earth would blood them to see if they can perform against a damn good side...".
Colwill and Davies showed last game they can contribute and could well play big roles for us in the future. Why not give others the same chance?
loose 6-0 and it could do more harm than good. Is Lamouchi playing for his future as well? On the plus side we could go there with youngsters and win but in that event would Tan sanction the number of players we need?
Yeah, Colwill and Davies will need to be on suicide watch if we get stuffed.
I mean, seriously? We shuld ony play the kids in EFL cup games against, oooh, Crawley?
If we had been relegated, Lamouchi would be gone. If you seriously believe his future lies on getting a result against Burnley ffs...
You either give the kids chances in dead games or just close the Academy and sell / release them all.
