In particular, we need someone to hold the ball up if forecasts of gale force winds are accurate. It might be difficult to get the ball down and play to feet (which would suit us, I suppose).Like Chris said, he's only a kid and every now and again you have to pull them out and give them a breather and besides, hasn't he been with the England U20's as well?. Also, people on here are telling us we need to keep the ball better and not go chasing it so an extra body in the middle would help I think. It would have last week.

If this fixture is anything like last year there will be quite a few Fulham on the Euston to New Street but they were great. Friendliest fans I've spoke to this year were Brentford.Me too on the 11.03 out of Euston. I fully expect that if one of the Fulham Ultras pull out a knife, it will be to slice up some brie on their cheese board.

Don't rest our most inform striker ahead of, arguably, our two biggest games of the season.Madness.

You just cant because they have to play if picked unless theyre injured. The fact that he once played for Biggleswade is completely irrelevant.
Resting may be the wrong word, but it may well be the case he needs taken out for a bit and come off the bench for a couple of games. It happens to all young players and he hasn't looked great the last game or two. It's a choice managers and coaches have to take.

But that's irrelevant anyway. We have eight days till the next game. No need to rest him whatsoever.
