No, the rules allow any selection provided at least 10 squad players used in the previous x games are picked.

Correct.

How many are in the squad but hardly play?

That’s how I understand it.

No Giles for them today. No Howson. Rested? Got a knock?

Really difficult to prove that a few players aren’t 100%.

Even if a slight knock, if the game isn’t crucial, you don’t take the risk.

Middlesbrough can rest / rotate / not risk a fair few of their first team.

With injures and knocks you can circumvent that situation, bench them rather than play them it still keeps within rules of so many from the regular squad not playing or in the squad.. The rules are very lax not as strict as most think. You cant risk a player, you do have to consider their future? rightly or wrongly and a players fitness. bending the rules yes ut who can prove otherwise.?

Can also name them in the squad and use later if needed. Or start them and change at HT. Several ways of doing it.

But this the time of the season clubs are watched very carefully. There won't be many changes if any at all.

Changing the subject. If we were to play luton or boro in the semis then tickets for them it should be what they give then we give, so if luton give say 1000 then max they get is 2000, if boro give 2000 then we give no more than 2500. would it sell out or more in the home end? give cov the choice with day trippers or not. Its a bit contensious as should we take the money or give home the benifit of more tickets? the atmosphere that cov create is ok ok. So shove them into a corner and F%%4ck them excuse my spelling?

If Doug is happy we would sell I think he’d do it. We’d then have to sell which going on the blues game I reckon we would. Nowhere near a full house again at Blackburn

The thing is with play off gate money it is shared betwen all the 4 clubs i think, it dont go to the host? i might be wrong. In playoffs so much goes to EFL regardless then you share betwen all participents?

Yes it’s entirely acceptable as long as the players who replace them meet the criteria - we could if through replace Gyokeres with Walker whose a member of the first team squad. Rest Hamer as well as long as it’s not a non first team replacement

We kicked off late in '97 whilst away. They still blame us for that.

Would Luton sell, say, 4500 tickets for first leg at CBS?

Was that spurs? beyond our control. yes they still blame. They are worse than scousers for blaming. They have no conception that they didnt do it? I assume it is sunlan you are talking about? i dont get why we worry about them, they aint beat us for years not when it matters anyway

It's in the book that the Sunderland fan wrote when he applied to be manager of every team in top 4 divisions. It was his car.

You’d want half of Sunderland’s 48000 rather than half of Luton’s 9000.

Just saying.

‘A great capture from Coventry’

Makes it sound like they had to put effort into securing the signing

That's why the FL will keep a close eye. They don't want Sunderland crying for the next hundred years even if they fall 4 points short.

I get it now. So best income is us and Sunderland rather than Millwall or BBurn (judging by their attendance today at least)

Tell Boro it’s in their best interest financially for us to win.

I really don’t see Carrick going to these lengths anyway.
