I get the "don't change a winning team" mindset, but his game changers that won the Colchester game again didn't start. The entire midfield were replaced in that game and the extra pace Chapman, Banks and Osadebe gave us made Colchesters shape open up more. We've only got 2 more midweek games, so fingers crossed we shouldn't need mega amounts of leggy rotation, but I wouldn't be against 3 or 4 changes on Saturday to freshen the feel.

In terms of general fitness, I think other sides have looked way fitter than us this season. A lot of our guys start blowing seemingly way earlier than the opposition with that spell around Wimbledon, Stockport & Rochdale games being really telling for it. Last night, Walsall looked like they could press for another half, which isn't right when we don't particularly play a high press, we stick to shape and try move around the play.

 

Deffo time to freshen the legs in midfield, (East/ Banks) and hopefully have Derbyshire back for Saturday to replace Elvis.
