Huge decisions coming up for Smith. Do you go for it the last 2 games and try and overhaul Olbiyon?
Or use the next few games to protect players and prepare for the play offs?
Rest mcginn plus 4 others v Leeds as they’ll be fighting for points and are physical regardless, then reintroduce v Norwich

Leeds might not need the points by Sunday - Sheffield United are playing Ipswich on Saturday.

The play off semi first legs are on the 11th May and the second legs on May 14th & 15th. Our last league game is on May 5th. I'm not convinced resting players is needed, unless the manager sees something in certain players that tells him otherwise.

One thing for sure not particularly looking forward to Leeds next week - horrible shower of sheep   

On paper and form too strong for anyone but it’s the villa we are talking about

I would rest elmohady and give Hutton his last horaah and probably McGinn and give lansbury a run out.  Other than that no need

If you have booked a Travelodge you have to do the full Partridge experience. Dance on your bed, order the porn channel and ask for 'a ladyboy' cocktail from the bar.

How many do you get in a Travelodge room these days ? More than the lower north stand by the sound of things.

Leeds currently losing could mean Norwich promoted bar massive goal difference miracle.

Would also mean Sheff Utd could seal promotion by beating Lambert Town at home before Leeds play us next weekend

Rest Jack for the Leeds game - he needs protecting and Leeds might just decide to target him and make sure he doesn't play against them in the final at Wembley :(

I doubt the final positions will change now so I'd certainly be protecting our best players against Leeds and possibly Norwich...there's absolutely no point risking them when the bigger picture is the playoffs now. Say all you like about momentum but it would count for nothing if Jack or SJM get injured.
