19owl08 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) Jokanovic on SSN saying they won't be making 10 changes for Sunday because they don't have enough players. Also he doesn't want his players thinking it is time for a vacation. Does this change your view on what we should do? Im still in the 'rest' camp. It did us no harm last year. I know it's a bit different as Wolves were not in the play offs but I don't think a loss would change the mood or confidence of the players who are rested. We have a big enough squad to make the changes and still compete. Edited May 3, 2017 by Stainless1983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player is genuinely injured fair enough but otherwise get them all playing like is a proper game and not a 'dead rubber'. Gotta show these Cockney twats we mean business come play off time.

I agree. 30,000+ in Hillsborough - we don't want to see another Wolves performance like last year because it was a waste of bloody time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y16OWL Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'd definitely play Sasso instead of loovens, give jones 90 minutes and rest bannan/lee, start palmer and fox. Try and get Hutchinson involved at some point if fit enough. Strikers wise a tough one but if forestieri anywhere near fit I'd try get him some game time and hopefully a goal.

We had no consistency last year though?! Yet we still got to Wembley. In my eyes it should still be a proper game. Those squad players who start should be trying to prove a point & try get themselves into Carlos' thoughts for the playoffs even as a bench player. My worry is if we play our best team & lose for whatever reason... you've lost consistency, confidence starts to wane etc. You also run the risk of injury to key players.

Fast Forward Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Wolves away last season tells us all we need to know about how Carlos will approach this game - i.e. 10 changes minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I dont give festering foook what Fulham are or are not doing. I'm sure Carlos has a game plan I'm happy to leave it with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Not sure resting players or confidence is the issue for me The problem is losing a key player for the playoffs through an injury or red card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 The other issue is whether Carlos wants to play at home second leg If so needs to try to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's going on the pre-supposition that we lose or a key player is injured. We might hammer a full strength Fulham side no problems. We have to show these flaps who is boss and that's us. Plus one way to irritate lots of non season ticket holders (potential customers next season) POTG fans is to play a deliberately weakened side. Commercial suicide along with on the field suicide.
