Agree. A chance of Wembley/Tottenham would be exciting. Forty three years since we last went, I haven't got another forty three years left (unless I live to 110) so it's got to be soon if ever.

Assuming Salford don't mind Escare being cup tied, I'd like to see him play at full back next week he's done nothing wrong and deserves another chance, save Max for the following week.
Hood took a big knock and I don't think it will do any harm to have a week off, enough cover there.
Other than that a bit of tinkering here and there by Willie and his team and we seem good to go.

Normally I agree but this year the league for me is everything and we just can’t be distracted. I reckon as many as six teams could be scrapping it out for the bottom spot. I’d rather us be one of those least likely to be dragged in.

So just this once I’d be disappointed but sort of ok with us exiting early, which to be fair we usually do anyway.

The only option for me is to create a mid week team for want of a better description. I know it breaks all the rules and if it actually worked could be problematic later on it might be worth a pop. If nothing else it allows fringe players the chance to really make a mark.

So next week

Jowitt needs a game

Murphy
Croft
Lyne needs a game
Escare or another loan maybe

Lino still needs game
Gaskell definitely needs a game

Walker deserves a game
Sid definitely needs a game
Tanginoa ditto, not quite there yet
Whitbread ditto again
Kay let him carry on his development
Arona bit of leadership

Aydin he’s ready
Eseh or Shaw see what they are made of
Bowes deserves and like Walker and Kay is multi use.
Windrow as per Shaw and Eseh.

Hardly dreadful and unlikely to win but great experience under no real expectations. At the same time rest a lot of key players whilst giving game time to some important returnees.

Also no S/Rs at centre!

Agree let's concentrate on keeping out of the dog fight this season

Agreed

Well, I'm a bit of both really.
Play the best team we have but give the knocks a week off, don't want to see experimental games really or changes to a winning formula, but lets not flog the knocks either.
