Do we want this:- Derby - start Bolton - injured Blackburn - injured Rotherham - injured Swansea - injured Preston - injured or Derby - rested Bolton - start Blackburn - start Rotherham - start Swansea - start Preston - start ? Players that can take two games a week would be ideal right now. Big ask, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday start in Albania Tuesday start in all-or-nothing v Israel Saturday start v Derby Tuesday start v Bolton You’re not serious surely? Jos can be hammered for several things, but having a go for clearly sensible player-care is daft. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an Essex Owl Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Think he should have been on the bench but do undertand Jos' rationale here (which is off trend for most of the simply bizarre decisions he is making now) for not starting Fletch. Shame as he looked excellent for Scotland.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did James Forest manage to start for Celtic yesterday, lunchtime kickoff? Or his mate Ryan Christie? Or Mcgregor for Rangers. Or Patterson in the Premier League. Or Robertson for Liverpool? I could go through the team but it would get boring. Fairly clear he cant do a full pelt 90 I suppose given our position this season I suspect playing against bolton is seen as more important kin ell how has it got to this?

theowlsman Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 To be fair, Fletcher would’ve needed to be at training last week to understand the cunning tactics for yesterday’s game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday start in Albania Tuesday start in all-or-nothing v Israel Saturday start v Derby Tuesday start v Bolton You’re not serious surely? Jos can be hammered for several things, but having a go for clearly sensible player-care is daft. The perception prior to the international break was that he couldn't play two games in a week. Then, having not featured for his country in over a year he plays a significant part in two crunch games for them and is substituted near the end of the 2nd game, tired but not injured or completely shot. You would imagine his confidence would have got a big boost from his involvement and plenty of plaudits. Maybe starting him yesterday would have been a risk but having him as an option from the bench would have helped - Nuhiu has sadly been pretty poor most of the time this season and offered nothing again yesterday. Also, Jos's policy of player-care is seemingly becoming a bit contradictory. The vast majority of players have needed a spell in the under 23's before returning gradually to the first team yet Forestieri, who has a very poor fitness record in terms of availability slots straight into the starting line up and looks like the fittest player on the pitch. Looking forward to yet more changes on Tuesday. The only thing that Jos has managed to do consistently is fail to pick up results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope he can start Tuesday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday. About as likely as cam Dawson scoring a hat-trick bud. We all know jos may start him Tuesday, he scores a brace in our first victory in 7 and would be rested or on the bench on Saturday, Jos the rotator!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Off topic but nobody seems to be questioning us continuing to play Matias and Joao. Listening yesterday they didn't get many mentions and I'm wondering if they're a luxury we can't afford and it's time to offload them both?
