Coventry (H) : Mon Apr 09, 2018 10:21 am  

So have all the shenanigans of the last game, and us having egg on our face with a defeat against Workington, time to get back on the horse again. Personally i'd rest all those who have had a full Easter program. We've 2 big games after this against Warrington and then Doncaster. We should have enough depth in the squad to get 2 points at home to Coventry, let some of our key players recharge for a big two weeks afterwards. Personally i'd go.

1. Smith (If fit)
2. Grant
3. Gibson
4. Jake Butler-Fleming
5. Ricketts
6. Pickersgill
7. Keyes
8. Kirk
9. Hallas
10. Bustin
11. Halafihi
12. King
13. Milton

14. Butterworth
15. Andrade
16. Goodall
17. Oakes.

Don't think Kear would make that many changes, but i'd like us to let Chisholm, Peltier, Crossley, Minchella certainly have a rest.

Strange one. After yesterday I'd like to see all the first choice gang out their with a 'go prove Workington was a one off' flea ringing in their ears

Lets move on, get a win and get behind the lads.

I agree with Bull Mania, we need to rest some players. Is Davies still out on loan?

Yes, tricky to know whether 'punishing' the same set of lads by asking them to go give Coventry a hiding is better than acknowledging those same players were a bit knackered, and letting them have this week off.

What ever we do, i trust John.

We could make it tasty by resting 6 and then getting Chalmers to issue a statement about how inept Coventry are, and how much he detests them.

No so much punishing but they are hurting and will be itching to prove themselves. I'd be tempted to let them get back out and vent against Cov rather than give them another frustrating week to wait and risk them trying too hard and over playing again Donny.

In this world of p/t players do they only get paid if they play? Another dilemma for John, if the case, keeping them happy by resting them and not paying them?

I don't think it works like that, no.

It'll be interesting to see the take up of streamers....
