Championship Games 25/26

Fortune 82nd Minute

Can't we just forfeit Wednesday's game, take a 3-0 paper defeat and keep everyone fit and healthy for Saturday?

That could be the game that gets Wednesday off minus points.

I’d assign Kayne Ramsay on a man marking mission on Hayden Hackney. He was everything in that performance today. Far too good for the level.

Yes we need a Keith jones or Kishishev job done on him.👍

Indeed!, all joking apart you don’t see man to man marking jobs that much these days?

Something tells me we won't be going into Wedneaday night's game as favourites ...

Suits me...👌

Jones will get ridiculed if he plays a weakened side to play 'Boro on Wednesday but honestly think it's the smart play. Certainly wouldn't be risking Jones, Clarke, Chambers, Carey

I think we're likely safe now but if we do get pulled back down GD could be crucial. Even if you accept the premise we lose, it's better to lose by 1 or 2 than 3 or 4

I think it will be 3 or 4 starters and the rest fringe players. I wouldn’t blame him. Saying that Oxford away has always been a bogey trip for us.

We've just turned around our play a little why the hell you would not play your strongest team against the strongest team left to play is madness. You never know we mind end up with a draw of cheeky 0-1 win. That would put this 'relegation' beyond doubt, which I think already is beyond doubt tbh.

 Even 'resting' players doesn't mean we've got massively better chance of a result against oxford, always play your best team. We're notoriously shit after any breaks be it internationals or free cup wknds during the season.

So we're just giving up on the playoffs then?

If we are resting players on Wednesday, the 2 that I'd be most keen to keep fit and fresh are Jones and Bell.

Does Jones need to survive one more game to avoid a yellow card suspension? If so, I'd rest him.

Just play the best team!!! They were very good at the valley admittedly but we were in a bad run with injuries, we are in a much better place now, I don’t think we will roll over.

I’m probably going to be very wrong here, especially as Jones mentioned the Wednesday evening away, Saturday morning away fixtures we have this week.

But I think he will want us fighting for every point. I also expect he would have to chain Lloyd Jones to the changing room for him to not to want to play as well.

Maybe Kelman might start. But otherwise I really can’t see much being changed.

I can't see you being wrong tbh. Just not sure what he will do with Lloyd.
