How should we approach the last 3 games?

So the playoffs are confirmed and so is the top 4 (and the playoff second leg at home). In theory we could rest players and have 3 weeks rest until the playoff first leg but that in itself is a risk of losing sharpness, but with injuries mounting up it feels like we can't afford getting too many other players injured.

How would YOU approach the last 3 games? Do we go full pelt, hopefully win the last 3 and go into the playoffs with momentum?

Or do we rest and rotate players?

Its a tough one, losing someone like Akpom to an unnecessary injury would be a hammer blow but its a fine balance between losing sharpness and losing players to injuries.
 
Try our best to beat Luton and claim 3rd.

If we lose, then we have nothing left to risk players for before the play-offs.

If we win, we can afford to make changes against Rotherham to protect players anyway.
 
Quite a few injuries in the squad. Maybe a little rotation is needed, but we want to carry on winning and playing well to keep up the momentum. It's a conundrum.

I would be giving Barlaser, Bola, Dijksteel, Crooks and Jones some game time and protecting players like Howson, Akponm, Giles.
 
I don't really see any benefit in coming 3rd over 4th. I'd rotate on Monday and rest Akpom.

I would play full strength v Rotherham and Coventry.
 
Full rotation, our job is done for now. I don’t see any benefit risking injuries to win the next 3. If we loose all 3 it doesn’t matter, but if we win all 3 but loose key players for the playoffs then it would be a huge blow

If we do go full strength no way will those players be giving 100% incase they get injured. Give them a rest and let players come into the side who are desperate to impress for the last 3

If we lost all confidence would be shot to peices.

Play the best team and try and wim every game, simple as that.

If it was a different starting 11 then would it make any difference?

I don’t think we will rest many if any players, except us to beat Luton but loose the next two. Rotherham and Coventry have far more to play for than we do
