Rest

[Davalon]

Agree with resting a few for various reasons and giving others some game time.

Only thing is that as it stands, both remaining opponents have something to play for.

We have to show integrity to the league and others teams so can't field too weakened a team.

The team is in desperate need of a rest.

The biggest problem we have at the moment is just the sheer lack of energy on the pitch.

I would literally just say chill out for a couple of days and just go in on Thursday for prep. I'd be tempted to take them to a spa resort somewhere and do the same next week with just the bare minimum fitness work to keep them in shape. .

Play the kids and those who need match fitness against Stoke. Start Brooks, McCallum, Brewster, O'Hare, One, Baptiste etc. Rest Burrows, Cooper, Peck. Anel, Hamer. Find and free Gilchrist. Tie Shackleton up so he can't go off dogging and has to play.

Get them back in properly after the final game and train them for a 3 game cup run. Concentrate on small scale. 5-aside. Quick bursts. one-touch passing.

Our only hope is to somehow reenergise them, because we're playing team after team more determined than us.

It’s a bit of a catch 22, I remember the last suspension Hamer served and when he came back afterwards he did his hamstring early doors possibly due to a bit of lack of fitness. It’s good to keep them ticking over, but you’re absolutely right the core needs to be rested.

It’s a good chance for Mccallum, O’hare, Gilchrist, Holding, Brooks etc to gain some fitness & maybe a bit of form too.
