Rest Players for Southport

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

Toto/Pearson suspensions I think will play a massive factor as well. Any others knocking on a suspension???

Pearson is not under threat unless he gets sent off. The amnesty for 10 bookings was yesterday so he wont get done under totting up.

Toto is different. If he were to get to 15 cautions then he would get a 3 match ban. I believe he is on 13 at present

There could be a compromise where some key players are rested.  This could include Toto.

If I was cynical I would say they had a rest on Saturday!!
Seriously, I am sure Hurst will spread the workload over the final 2 games, depending on fitness and of course the possible suspension problem with Toto. Whatever he does he will be trying to get to a point where he has his strongest 11 fit for the play-off games.

We only need a point to be sure of third place, even if Eastleigh win all three remaining games.

So play a reasonably strong team at Southport to get a result, and then look to rest as many players as possible for the Aldershot game. That way we will be really fresh in the first leg of the playoffs.

Definitely rest any key player a booking away from suspension.

Quoted from RoboCod

I'd rather hoped we could take the opportunity over the 2 games to try various systems out, with the hope that we find the right lineup and approach to enable us to;

1-score first,
2-strangle/grind out the game for a bit,
3-grab a second,
4-back to 2

There's a team in there somewhere capable of this

If with 2 games to go we have to start trying different systems to find the right line up, then we are up shitcreek without a paddle.

1 game a week, tired? don't make me laugh. If players are getting tired then drop the work load at training and give them a little bit more family time, OR instead of being on the training ground get them all doing something as a team that isn't to strenuous (ie BINGO!)

Rest ?

After Saturdays performance they deserve extra training,

Some need to learn how to pass a ball to a team mate,

Some need to run about a bit more,

Macca needs to learn how to stop a shot from outside the box,

I think he must stand in the wrong place because he never gets near the ball,

On the other hand shoot at him from 10 yards he makes brilliant saves all the time,

Its a mystery!!!!

Rest? They want to be busting a nut and showing us why they should be on the team-sheet in the playoffs and/or in our plans if we go up.

I want some passion in these last games, the fans will have fire in their belly come the end of the month and the players should be getting goosebumps when they pull on the shirt.

I hope somebody teaches Macca how to get behind long range shots properly it's a chink in his armor. I am sure opposing teams too have noticed this. Against Wrexham it was noticeable how the forwards were having a few shots at long range.
