Surely we'll be rotating the squad a little bit in these games? Who do we think will get a game?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I'm game

 

[metalblade]

Yes, I'm thinking one or two of our players are beginning to look tired after 70mins.

United will start the same line up in both games unless there is injurie....then bring them off around 60 min mark.... Get these two our of the way then we are back to a game per week till Christmas

 

[bromtom]

Think Lunny and Fleck will both get a game off each for Freeman in the next block of games.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Lunny needs a rest, I guess Freeman gets a game ahead of Besic.

 

[Niceguyeddie]

Thought lundstram should have come off on the hour mark last two games
no idea why this is in bold

 

[Collins Morris]

Lunny needs a rest, I guess Freeman gets a game ahead of Besic.

Chris won't drop Lunny after one bad game he will start Thursday

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Chris won't drop Lunny after one bad game he will start Thursday

It's his fitness not the form. He's covered so much ground each game it's only natural to be jaded.

They're likely to get a game off in the near future as they are on 4 cards.

Then you take him off after 60min or so then

Great point today but we now have Lunny, Fleck & Baldock all one booking away from 1 game suspension up till after the Watford game.

I think we'll keep the same side going as long as possible but it's likely the suspensions will force some rotation on us in the next couple of weeks anyhow.

Baldock is the worry out of that lot. Even if we lose Fleck and Lundstram for the same game we have bodies in midfield, with Freeman, Besic, Osborn, and maybe Morrison.

K Freeman looked a long way off Baldock last season and was poor in the cup games this season, and Baldock has really pushed on this season.

I’ve never been a fan of squad rotation, for the sake of it. Let’s deal with the bans when they arrive.

It's not just the bans that are concerning, but fatigue and burnout.

Ok bans, fatigue, burnout and loss of form. CW has got to play his “best” 11 whenever he can. We are where we are in the league because of our continuity and CW’s resistance to squad rotation.

 

[Red Wing Blade]

Crop rotation????

Sorry, squad rotation. My bad.

 

[BigBed]

Just tried to do this on a piece of A4, only im not sure Didzy n Mousset in goal will be allowed??

 

[Charlieblade]

Wilder must be confident in the availability and form of possible replacements. Any player who is just one more card away from suspension, must be affected by the prospect of losing his place?
Having a settled line up gives others confidence in the way you play. Bringing in one off replacements into a settled side is hardly ideal. (Jags and Moore)
My biggest concern would be losing two or three key players at the same time.

One or two will reach 5 bookings so rotating of some players will happen due to bans.

 

[HolmesfieldBlade]

Lundstram wasn’t as good today but their midfield is one of the best in the league. Dealt with the threat well I think.

Having Luke Freeman - one of my favourite CMs of recent years as BACKUP is almost unbelievable.

I agree this would be a little concerning but I would personally move bash over there and then bring jags in I know it alters the shape slightly but I would think this would be defensively better and maybe even work with bash having free roam down that side, or even as a mad option put besic there, we know he likes a tackle and can be solid defensively.

Not only wasn't Lundstram as good today , he was noticeably poor in a number of respects .

Not only was Lundstram not as good today , he was noticeably poor in a number of respects and easily our worst performer .

He seemed to lack energy and commitment and his positional play was all over the place , creating problems for others around him .

 

[Ricky]

Poor old Lunneh..... I think our boy is slowing down.

It's been a demoralising couple of games seeing that he is subject to biology. Didn't think we'd have to witness that.

I'd consider leaving him out for Newcastle, with Freeman coming in. Then have him fresh ready to smash Norwich, which is a better game for him.

He has been ever present since pre season and sat on 4 yellow cards for a while now. No surprise his form has slipped a bit.
Up to Wilder if he keeps his place and eventually gets a rest on suspension.

 

[Spore Blade]

Has anyone a summary of the yellow cards so far? There must be a few now who are on the edge of a ban.
