then when you have injuries and suspensions, the players you bring in aren't match fit, fucking brilliant idea, that shit went out of fashion in the 70’s.
Wakey wakey, It’s a squad game now!

Indeed, and we've got a number of players that could do with a bit of match practice. Make the changes I say.

I have said earlier don’t change our winning team but if MR is to rotate, if 100% fit I’d give JJ a full game, cup-tie so it will be full bloodied a perfect test for him.

Id give a bit of game time to Hiwula and Pask, maybe one more change with Mason or a different centre-mid. A cup run would be nice but its also useful to keep some of the squad more match fit too.

Robins made a late decision not to play him when he saw the state of the pitch

Not sure if JJ will be involved as there are two U23 games next week which might be better as the results aren't as important
So possibly from the bench on Sunday if he does travel

Christ, yes a full blooded cup tie is exactly what a player recovering from a recurrent ACL needs.

Based on what ? None of us have seen pask play McFadz is the leader in that defence

We need to see Pask in a proper competitive match (he did play at Swindon in the friendly and looked ok to me). Of the three McFadz is the oldest and so is the most obvious choice to make way but it could just as easily be Hyam. I'd always keep Rose.

Wycombe
He travelled but watched from the stand
We knew about the state of the Tranmere pitch so he stayed at Ryton for a training session

Almost certainly is. Better Days is an anagram of Steady Bert, which was MR's nickname during his playing days!

I was making a point about the fact he did the press before the Lincoln home game and didn't play, nothing to do with Wycombe or Tranmere.

Nick made the assumption that Pask would be playing because he did the press conference today.

I think Jones was because it was when he was back on the bench for Lincoln.

Pask was on the bench last game so would be a bit strange.

Just guessing though, he may well not be playing

I'd use this as a chance to rest a few in a hectic period even though I don't want to upset the momentum. Nice that there are players to do it with that you're still confident can do the same job. Might change the keeper as well just to keep Wilson up to speed. Pask to come in for one of the back three depending on who the metrics say needs it most (given age probably Fadz but would miss his leadership). Only one I wouldn't change is Godden to try and keep him in goalscoring form, even though I'm concerned after his injury.

Wilson
Pask.....Hyam.....Rose
Dabo......Kelly........Walsh.......Mason
Allen........O'Hare
Godden

Subs: Marosi, Fadz, McCallum, Shipley, Westbrooke, Baka, Hiwula (Biamou if fit)​

I think past could play wingback, used to play as striker abd looked good going forward against leam

I thought this. Didn't he score twice at Leamington, or am I remembering that wrong? I did have a few beers...
I'd be tempted by changes that don't necessarily weaken us but give some minutes to players who can easily step into the first team.
Marosi
Rose Hyam Drysdale
Pask Walsh Allen Mason
O'Hare Shipley
Godden

I thought O'Hare was superb when he came on against Tranmere.
Deserves a start.

He scored one and I think the other was a shot that hit him and went in.

Good finish for his goal though.

Think Jones had already made his comeback against MK a couple of weeks before, just pointing it out cause I saw he did the Lincoln press so expected him to start that game.

Think Pask will start at RWB, Dabo probably due a rest

Not as effective as a starter for me keep on the bench Allen should start ahead of him

Not seen Pask play. What sort of build/style of defender is he? Don’t know why but I’d assumed more central than bombing down the wings.

He's just over 6 foot and more the build of Rose or Hyam than McFazdean.

According to transfermrkt, he’s played right back twice in his career consisting of 60 games - mostly for West Ham’s reserves

A CB at RB is very different to a CB at RWB IMO.
