There's always a team that hits a run of form at the end of the season and the momentum takes them into the playoffs. That momentum means a lot and this time it's us. If we keep this form up we've got every chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outcomes are just a snapshot of a moment extracted for the purpose of perspective. Confidence and momentum manifest from the flow of experience that is present throughout the entire undertaking and reflect the quality of investment in the process. If you focus on outcomes purely and ignore the process then you will sabotage both. However if we commit fully to the process, outcomes will be what they should be.

If we can cement a place in play offs before final two games that would be handy so we can rest them for the play offs I think that would be great. If we get to Wembley we have alot of experience on big occasions of any side in the league. Hopefully that would swing it for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Honestly, I wouldn't rest anybody unless it was absolutely necessary. If you take your foot off the gas, there's no guarantees you can get back to speed. Keep it up, keep winning, don't stop until you win the final. Rest afterwards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see changes as a chance to better safeguard the future games. It's not as if any of the changes will weaken us that much, plus it keeps them match fit and ready if needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EFL brought in a rule to stop teams from resting too many players I believe; “For any league match played on or after the fourth Thursday in March, any team sheet for a league game should include at least 10 outfield players who featured on the team sheet for the league match before.” The EFL added: “In the event any club breaches the threshold, they may be charged with a breach of Regulation 24 and the matter will be referred to a disciplinary commission.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it because that would put them in second? Because I don't see Preston as a threat anymore. West Brom and Blackburn wins for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 6 points below us, however just based on our recent resurgence, we should know how quickly things can change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 We make changes or any rests once we can no longer change position, if we're guaranteed 5th then maybe you change 2, 3 players maximum, but otherwise I say keep going! You can sub off players if they are tired. I'd rather start strong, go 2/3 up within an hour then bring off the key players, than have to bring them on to try and find a late winner.

This made it unfair on the other teams still in the relegation scrap. They brought that rule in the following season to stop that happening again.

This is the problem Bayern used to have under Pep. They would wrap up league with 10 games to spare then lose their sharpness in the semi finals of Champions league.

VILLAMARV Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 should be fun watching it play out. 6th to 10th to all lose would be great really. Leeds and Sheff Utd have their own race. Baggies are the weird ones. Can't say them doing a 'boro wouldn't be hilarious after sacking Moore. Lot to ask though. I think Forest are the dark horses. We just have to keep going.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Saturdays results were pretty much perfecr for us WBA lost, Bristol drew, Derby drew, Boro lost, Forest lost, Sheff Wed lost, PNE lost. We were the big winners again Tonight id like to see Blackburn return to some form and get at least a draw, same with WBA, Forest/Wed to draw and Bolton to win just for laughs (how hasnt Pulis been sacked yet) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted April 9, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2019 Bristol v West Brom is an interesting one... I suppose it’s better for baggies to win and then Bristol would be on 40 games and a point behind us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless WBA capitulate on the same level as Boro have, I don't see us catching them in 7 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
