Beautiful. I've always loved this club. It's fucking brilliant to be able to love the team as well.

What’s been so great in this run is that Smith has been forced into changes and we’ve carried on winning. What I am equally confident of is that we can rest players out of choice and those that come in will do a job that maintains our form and momentum. Not saying we will beat Leeds and Norwich, but we certainly won’t recline into our shell. We have a brilliant club right now and I’m confident that if BB, Green, Davis, Hourihane etc get a start next game they will all do us proud.

Play the strongest team and maintain the momentum. They can have a rest in the summer.

I see the value in this, but if some Leeds twat breaks Grealish's leg I will be pining for the rest that he didn't get.

Building the momentum means that the players are used to playing with each other, in a system they understand. Several of them are in top form at the moment and should play as often as they can.  Getting injured is a risk that comes with the sport, as do bookings or sendings off.  Pick the strongest team available to us, maybe make the changes after an hour if we need to.

I totally get this, but I'm a scaredy. Rest those boys.

Totally understand your rationale Sexy but I like uniformity and structure.  I'm a scaredy too, I worry about everything and am a glass half empty type of person.  Shitting myself about the play offs and desperate to do well.  I just think that Grealish and SJM, Mings (and Abraham) are talismen, when we play them, good things tend to happen.

I'm very on board with the 'sexy' sobriquet . All of those players are good enough to come into the side whenever they need to, momentum or otherwise.

Fair point, I just think that we are better with them all in the side.  Dean Smith knows what he's doing and I hope we are too strong for the play off sides now.  Be great to get Hause back in at left back too with Axel and the Emporer in the middle.

To be honest, everything from now on in is more than I thought we deserved in Feb/March. We now deserve a big house in the fucking country. We're unstoppable unless some prick stops us.
