Title: A risk worth taking?
Post by: Jenga on October 23, 2014, 12:10:50 PM
Bearing in mind we have £12,500 at stake, would you consider resting some of those players who have perhaps had more match time than others and move them to the bench?

Not so sure can afford that luxury but resting Reeves and Clee might be an option by putting them on the bench?

Not an option. if I get there and Chee and/or Reeves are on the bench I be mightily pissed off.

We did that against Trafford and we know what happened there!

Got to be a wind up, got to be...

Insane not to play a full strength team with so much at stake

We don't have enough strength in depth to have the luxury of resting players if they are fit to play.

A good cup run could really be the springboard to  a better season, so we must give it our all.

We go full tilt or might as well not bother, we've had our fingers burnt time and time again over the last 20 years in this situation, strongest available 11 without question

The time to rest those tired legs is an hour into the game after we've built AT LEAST a three goal lead.

Know this is as typo ... but is it for Clee or Ched?  :D :D

I'd rest Coburn and play that younger goalkeeper on our staff: Ian Senior.

It's not the most stupid post I've read. It consists of a reasonable question followed by a reasonable suggestion. Both asking for sensible comment. On the other hand, your response is up there.........

if you think it's a reasonable suggestion, who would you rest and who would you play instead?

If you look at the original post I don't think jenga thought changes should be made so I'm wondering why he even started the thread

buryalty thinks it's reasonable suggestion? But hasn't been able to name anyone he would rest - so maybe not such a reasonable suggestion I think

f**k me.

come to the alty fans forum, a friendly online haven for likeminded lovers of alty fc to have a good hearted debate.

On the ball against Barwell we should be good enough to be 3up at half time, then rest a few. players like Gillespie and Perry have had less game time than Reeves. Wilkinson less than Richman, Marshall less than Griffin/Leather/Havern.

Not really arsed if i get slated for that, same old same old on here these days.

Fair point but you would want us 3 up before you do this

What on earth is all this talk about building a three goal lead? Does anyone seriously think we're going to do that? This is going to be a hard game and I'd be happy with any win or even a draw.

If a team struggling against relegation in League One was talking like this about us, I'd be thinking that they're cruising for a fall.

I agree Leon I just agreed that we could make changes if things were going well I will add the 2 most important players in the Sinnott era have probably been clee and reeves when one of them is dropped or injured we have had some shocking results

i said if we're on the ball. we were three up away at Halifax so its not impossible to imagine us three up away at Barwell. and the main point is thats when you rest people.

You totally misunderstand my post. I'm not suggesting we can work a three goal lead. ONLY IF WE DID (odds of 66-1 in my opinion) should we consider weakening our team.

I trust that is now perfectly clear !!!!!

No, I didn't misunderstand your initial post, I just thought it was unwise for you and others even to discuss what we might do if we'd built a three goal lead as that implies we think it's a reasonable possibility.

The bookies are offering 10/11 an Alty win so they don't think it will be easy.

I really dont believe the answers in this thread.

It was a serious question and one that I felt we could not afford the luxury but we all know Alty and wondered if others felt we could rest some players by putting them on the bench.

As for you UDAY, you are utterly rude and if you cant answer a thread politely then dont bother. In all honesty every post you put on this forum is slating someone or the club or the manager. Give it a rest for gods sake.
