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 :(

This with fecking bells on.
They would target Jack for sure.

A midfield of Barney, Lansbury and Hourihane for the next two games would be fine.
They need the games.

Yep, now's the time to have 18 players all up to match fitness. If Smith decided to bring in Hutton and Elphick as well, I'd back him all the way.

There’s a scenario where Leeds end up 4th by losing their last two and Baggies winning their last two.

I think we need to be careful not getting ahead of ourselves, the play offs are a fickle business.

The boggies have Rotherham to play. We won’t catch them.

They are flaky as fook. Don’t bank, bet or rely on them, ever.

It’s going to be bloody hard whatever. But if we play to our best we beat anyone.

Do we risk losing momentum if we rest players?
