Should we experiment?

[VillaZogmariner]

Now that we are as good as safe in the league now, do you think we should experiment a bit more with our line ups between now and the end of the season? I'm not saying play them all at the same time, but maybe mix and match more.

I'd like to see Seitgeist, Bradley, Delph, Bannan, Gardner and Johnson give more of a run out for a start, as well as giving Makoun more chance to get used to the Premier League.

[Shrek]

I've already said inthe pre match thread I'd start Bannan behind Bent.

We need to build up our youngsters and show abit of faith in them.

[villasjf]

I would like to see Delph Gardner and Bannon given some more time on the pitch and apparently Bannon is in the squad after being recalled from Leeds, I think we have seen the last of Pires on the bench. They wont make many changes though each position in the league is worth a lot of money.

[Matt C]

I'd certainly like to see a Gardner, Bannan, Delph in lieu of Pires - surely his work here is done now.

[Salsa Party Animal]

I think we should give kids run out after 65 minutes depending on the game. I would like to try out the young goalkeeper. If we got it right he could be our Iker Callias 

[cdbearsfan]

I'm willing to try anal but NOT if I have to be the recipient.

[TheSandman]

Yes. I'd like to see some youngsters given a chance. Maybe even give Bradley a fair chance. Maybe it is time to give Makoun some games again to help him acclimatise for next season he is after all much more likely to be here next season than NRC or Petrov.

We should try to give the players who will be here next season a game.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Absolutely. Delph and Bannan should be playing, Clark at centre-back (with Cuellar), give Baker a few more games, bring Delfounseo in alongside Bent and maybe even play Guzan.

If GH is staying, I'd also bring back his original plan of getting the team to pass the ball a lot more. There was quite a few games where we were the better team, but lost due to poor defensive errors. I thought, in general, we looked ok passing the ball around and the players were just getting used to it.

[UK Redsox]

If Bradley doesn't play in the last few games then the decision must have been made already that he's not staying

[Rip Van We Go Again]

At £1m per league placing, I would say that experimenting is out of the question.

I don't think Wigan's rivals would be too happy either.

[WikiVilla]

Yes to Clark, gardner, banana and delph

Also, the players who have no future could possibly be benched

Their is a financial implication here though as in places mean millions of extra income

This is not some science lab experiment

[Deano's Mullet]

i hope not to the point it affects our results. a good end to the season  would take some of the sting out of this piss poor excuse for a season

[WikiVilla]

Spot on and will strengthen demand for summer ST purchases
Every game is massive, especially tomorrow

---------------------Seigrist-----------------
---Walker---Cuellar---Clark---Baker---
---------------Makoun---Delph------------
--Young---------Bannan------Downing--
---------------------Bent---------------------

Friedel, Collins, Bradley, Albrighton, Gardner, Petrov, Agbonlahor

That side would beat Wigan.

[DrGonzo]

If Bradley doesn't play in the last few games then the decision must have been made already that he's not staying

Surely we'd have sent him back if that was the case?

I'd like to see a couple of changes, Clark is due a return, and Bannan playing off of Bent, and Albrighton is sureky getting frustrated on the bench.  The problem is there are so many players around the squad that could do with a game we could change the entire team...where do you stop?? I'd hate to be a manager.
With Houllier still out of action I'd not expect any great changes, he'd be murdered if it went wrong, there's enough people sharpening knives as it is.
