Need to manage our players into the season, without straining the bodies too much, and quite a few players have had knocks in pre-season.

So who needs a rest, who needs wrapping in cotton wool and who needs game time vs Blackpool?

Rest/Cotton Wool: Bola (he'd love to play vs Blackpool, but needs protecting), Tavernier (not 100% fit), Ikpeaku (only CF)
Play vs Blackpool: Lumley, Coulson (I know he's leaving but I wouldn't play Bola), Wood, Bamba, McNair Peltier; Malley, Howson (experience), Payero, Jones, Crooks; Coburn

Is Bamba registered?

Playing 12 would help 😉

Or do you mean they get SOME game time?

If Coulson is leaving I wouldn't want him involved - surely a young left back would suffice for a League Cup game?


Edit Or can Pelter play there?
 
If we sign Daniels and Bamba my team would be this.

Daniels

Spence
Bamba
Wood
Peltier

Morsy
Payero
Tav

Jones
Coburn
Sivi

Bring Tav off after 45-60 mins for McNair and bring Morsy off for Howson. Would be happy with the rest of the lads to get 90 mins.

I wonder if Jack Robinson might get a game at left back.

Possibly, if we don’t sign Bamba Then Peltier could play centre back and Robinson left back. I do think he will try and get Peltier some minutes and Spence is guaranteed a start but it could be that he plays Spence further up and doesn’t start Sivi. Hope not though

Was wondering what was happening with Bamba. Been checking but nothing concrete. I guess he'd had to be registered by tonight to play tomorrow.

Yeah, I'd love to see Sivi and Jones get starts. That really would be exciting!

The game is Wednesday so hopefully we should get it done today or tomorrow. And same! Want to see genuine pace and width

Coulson is having a medical at Ipswich today...

 
Tav won't play
They said Payero was blowing out of his backside when they did some fitness work with him at Rock Cliff . He won't have trained for ages. Bench at best for him 👍
