    If Tilt were to be rested he would have to miss two games. We have two fixtures to go until we reach 38. lf he gets another booking in tonight’s or Saturday’s match, it would lead to a 3 match suspension.

    I agree about the back three - Penno, Tilt, Touray would be my pick.

    I mentioned above, the idea of resting him for 2 games just to potentially avoid him missing for 2 games just doesn't make any sense.

    He's game ready and as we're already missing 1/3rd of the recent regular back 3 tonight I think the other two would be the first names on my team sheet.

    The only difference is, if on the bench, he could be brought on in case of injury or other requirement whereas if he gets banned, he’s out for two whole games.
    I doubt that GA will do this though.

    Sounds even worse tbh!

    We miss him for 85 minutes then we're forced to bring him on and he picks up a yellow card in those 5 minutes meaning we've effectively missed him for 3 games.

    Play your strongest team available
    Don’t go into a vitally important game with one hand or leg tied behind your back
    Points tonight push us closer to a playoff place and that should be the only consideration
    Deal with the consequences tomorrow

    This has to be the plan for Curtis. Play him tonight, if he gets a yellow, then he needs to get a deliberate second yellow at the end of the match.

    Especially when the away form is so dreadful!

    Win the game in front of you! Worry about the next one after that!

    It’s on Sky so yes will be the likely answer.

    All things considered that’s the way to go, managing the known is far easier to manage what might have been?

    Only 1 change is a bit of a surprise but it does leave no excuses about changes etc.

    Wow...GA has realised the first 11 is his strongest 11 and the squad has alot of trash in it.

    Same 11 bar Baldwin. Touray comes in.

    Get Swan on for 20-25 mins today. Needs game time in his legs.

    Wheatley starting is my only grumble.
