Eh? Think you have misread my posts there FA, my complaint was entirely about one of the games being moved to the Saturday not the home advantage.

Wasn't aimed at you or anyone, mate, just a general comment.

I personally would rest most of your squad for the million pound game (please), a win for fax is worth nearly a quarter of a million to us.

60/40 in our favour and you might have a deal!

Interesting squad selection dilemma for jimmy. Without doubt next weeks game is more important but whilst there's even a slim chance on snatching 4th spot we need to go for it. Therefore we can't rest a lot of players. Think only definite misses should be mullaney and Ferguson, who both pick up injuries easily. Would be tempted to rest obrien too and If Gaskell is going to play at wakey then he needs to at least come off bench this week.

Thinking something along lines of

Clare
Caro
Nielsen
Blythe
Williams
Purcell
Sjielka
Clough
Halafihi
Sidlow
Orbison
Pitts
Addy

Crossley
Latakia
Mellor
Gaskell

Not keen on either addy or sjielka at standoff so leave purtell there till Gaskell comes on. Then purtell to centre and Blythe into 2nd row. Don't think Halafihi can do full 80 like obrien does so addy to spell him at hooker at some point with Pitts moving to loose.

Resting players? Bringing injured players back gradually? This is Jimmy Lowes we're talking about here. AoB will do the full 80 and you know it

We all know it but we can but hope. Really think obrien would benefit from a week off but think jimmy sees it as character building to let opposition try to take his head off every week

I've not read the thread. To save me time can you please tell me whether it is a joke or a disgrace?

Re: Halifax Game is now SATURDAY : Thu Sep 24, 2015 10:05 am  

Both, as you well know

Sounds like a few changes for the Fax game, Jimmy to rest a few with bumps and bruises. Seems sensible to try and get as many close to 100% to give it our best shot. Gaskell also trained again this week and he's leaving it for Lee to decide if he feels ready.
