Absolute crazy statement, Why not play them against a team which we could quite comfortably beat, rest them for a Villa side where it would be a lot tougher to get something out of, then have a more fit and rested squad for the Swansea game.

Our players are stood on the platform. If we shove them in front of the train week in week out they're gonna get mangled Let Jos do his job Let posters say what they believe, thats why you took the Neg button away, remember.

pgmetcalf Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Not a fan of it, but whatever Jos does he’s likely to be on to a loser according to some people on here.damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. I’m at amiss why any Wednesday fan would try and detract from the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hardly a rest having a 4hr trek both ways from Sheffield to Millwall. Would have been better off leaving them at home. Seldom heard of an athlete who got injured or worn down from travel on matchday; the exertion compared to being in action physically in a match is astronomical.

striker Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thought it was a naive team selection, which showed inexperience of this league by Jos, one I hope will not be repeated. I understand the squad he has is decimated by injuries and having to rely on mostly our cast off reserves and youth players and those who are 'fit' do not have the core fitness to play Tuesday/Saturday for a prolonged period. That said, never an excuse for not playing any strikers, fans just won't stand for it and as proved cannot be effective in this league. Even if it meant calling up one of the youth strikers, need that focal point on the pitch. I accept Jos does not have an abundance of attacking options but he made a mistake last night.

Carlos Carvahaul was certainly guilty of that and it seems new bloke is as well. Just play your best side and worry about next match day after. No wonder people getting pis.sed off with modern football when you are paying high prices and see a half strength side a lot og games. You'll find the foreign coaches are fans of the squad rotation rather than the homegrown ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be better leaving them at home than travelling back from London arriving home at 3am, then having to drive home. Time would be better spent getting an early night and getting in the day after refreshed for training. Just feels like we didn’t care about team selection and decided to lose.

debram Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Forest went 40 plus games unbeaten under Clough with a squad of around 18 players, resting players doesn't work with me, always play your best available team imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was replying to a post, with the prerequisite of an answer to resting players, if the Manager sees fit to do so. Me I would play the best team all the time, give breaks to players as and when they feel they cant play due to fitness, would not leave them on the bench as this says to me that the player is fit to play, also I would rather play a player and bring him off when he tires. So thats what I mean and not what you mean, clear. Edited February 21, 2018 by daleblue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
September65 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 5 hours ago, Highbury Owl said: The two goals conceded were due to sloppy defending more than team selection. The two mistakes were made by Fox (not tracking his man) and Thorniley (giving the ball away and missing his tackle). If we had picked the strongest available side you could put a strong argument that neither would have been in the team to make the mistakes they did.

trevdi9 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Sorry but I have come to the conclusion that jos is managing a set of p ***ssy's, if they can't manage the few games they play per week ,Other teams have to do it so why not ours roughly 180 minits per week and they are shattered 2games per week for me sometimes three in my youth and any minuit's on the pitch I could get in between , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
