the gunslinger 3,366 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 We have players in 3 categories for this game. Established first team - largely these should not play. Davis, Tav, Kamara, Aribo etc First team needing games - should play. Jack, Bassey, Hagi, Roofe, Sakala maybe even Kent and Morelos Fringe - should play. Wright, Patterson, Lundstrum We can get a good team from that. Mcgregor Patterson Goldson Bassey Barasic Lundstrum Jack Hagi Sakala Roofe Wright. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tannochsidebear 2,405 Posted December 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2021 I'll be amazed if McGregor travels to France, i'd be happy enough with McLaughlin & McCrorie for this game. I'd prefer to give McCrorie the game actually. The lack of defensive cover means Goldson Bassey & Borna all need to play when i'd prefer to rest Borna and leave Goldson behind to get his agent to line up a new club for 4 weeks time. The next 3-4 weeks decide the title, so take no chances with a dead rubber game, and ensure we are rested, fired up and ready to take on the Jambos at a traditionally very hard fixture, followed by 3 home games by Boxing day then the double scum away trips before the break. We certainly cannot afford any injuries to our key players so why risk them with nothing to gain? McCrorie Patterson Goldson Bassey Barasic Bacuna Jack Lundstrum Wright Roofe Sakala I dont for a minute think GVB will make as many changes as the above side would be, and while I'll be watching the game tomorrow but even if we lose by a big margin I wont care a jot as long as we pick up no injuries. Our job was done in this group in our 2 home games and the point gained in Denmark, and even at our absolute best we may come up short in Lyon as they are a good side, so I just dont see the need to take unnecessary risks. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with all of this. Gio may not want to break the rhythm of a winning team. I think we are allowed to use 5 subs still in Europe so let's use that as well make 3 changes at half time. Would really like to see McCrorie play. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,658 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 There is no way McCrorie plays. McLaughlin hasn't played since October, he deserves it and needs the game time. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
