I was just wondering if Slade missed a trick with yesterday's team selection, as it's the chekaturd cup on Wednesday and that team must be a majority of the previous team, if Slade had picked those players who are either bench warmers or just fiddling their thumbs yesterday than those same players could then play against Sunderland, not risking his chosen ones and keeping within the rules.

Didn't they change this rule at the last meeting on a very hot island off the coast of Spain after all the complaints from Managers? I don't blame Slade for playing "his first team" on Saturday though, I would hate to be one of those clubs who play their reserves in the FA cup.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Why would he throw the game just to rest a few players? It's not as though we are doing much in the league a cup run would have been a nice distraction.

I thought the rules were the team either had to have half a dozen players from the last game or half a dozen would have to be in the next game (one or the other). So if he really wants to rest or make changes he has plenty of scope for both. Even Bignot never made five unenforced changes?

I think he made 10 changes for the Scunny game so I'd expect the same again.

He could have and he did say there would be a couple of changes then went with the same team,

I do not think he has to play mind games at our level do you ?

Is Slade clever enough to play mind games? Also on team selection I could name Saturday's starting 11 now, the same as the last game, and the one before that. We have a squad of about 30 players, 2/3 are out on lone and 2/3 are injured, that leaves about 24/25 players available but there must be 10 who know that no matter how hard they train, or perform in the Chekturd they will not get a game.

Earlier in the season he was criticized for making changes and not knowing his preferred starting 11.  Now he is criticized for not making changes.  Who'd be a manager?
