Definitely a good player not had the chance to settle would probably play him tomorrow and give Milan a rest but FL doesn't trust him so Milan will play.

Fully fit squad with BTA back. Who’s dropping from the bench?
Guessing Markelo, not a bad problem to have is it
Exactly, make sure we win this one then sheff utds a free hit,

At this stage of the season, and in this league position, no game is a free hit.
It is, win Tomorrow and that’s 6 points from 2, we need 2 ppg, takes the pressure of having to get a result at sheff Utd although I’d be disappointed if we didn’t get all 3,
Do we need 2 CBs on the bench, plus Bidwell who could also cover? It wouldn’t surprise me to see one of Woolfenden or Kitching left out of the squad.
I’m sure KKH also isn’t happy not making the match day squad at the moment.
He was very active on City Unseen and there hasn’t been a mention of him picking up a knock, so assume so.

If we rested players and lost, we'd never hear the end of it on here.

It's also worrying that some fans still don't understand how the championship works and think that there are guaranteed win fixtures where you can afford to rest players

It's not like they're saying rest the first teamers for the academy kids.
KKH last year swept the boards for Preston's post-season awards and played pretty much every match for them. To suggest he wouldn't be good enough to come in for MvE against teams such as Oxford, Wednesday etc. is ludicrous. Or be able to replace MvE when he's suffering from the flu and throwing up on the pitch. Eccles is an established midfielder at Championship level and more than capable of holding his own against most teams. Admittedly others like Bidwell and Allen would be more of a risk as despite their experience and professionalism age is now making it harder for them to perform at promotion level, and especially with any consistency.
Instead we should be asking could we afford not to rest players, as our poor run of form coincided with players like Grimes looking tired because games were coming thick and fast and they'd played so many minutes without being rested.

KKH hasn't even made squad in ages though. Milan is one of our top 5 players. It's not time to rest him now we have only 5 games in a month
I'm not saying KKH isn't capable but he might need a game or two to get going and we can't really afford that right now

Wasn't he injured?

Ya. So tough as to throw him in for a start soon as he returns to squad
Would of thought Hayden comes in for bidwell, cover for LB & RB,

Genuinely don't understand how people can be suggesting resting players for Sheff Utd...
We need to build a gap to 3rd, resting players and expecting a win is not how you do it.
Full strength, get a result. And if when Sheff Utd comes along we have to rest 1 or 2, then we have to.
West Brom are shit but it's not like it's a case of playing Allen, Bidwell and half the bench and still coming out with 3 points, we have to put 100% in.

3 0 win think the boys will be bouncing after that win on monday and again will be looking to turn this away form around. Think lamps has seen we dont need to go gun-ho and we can still score! Same 11 for me to keep that momentum rolling 
KKH was in the squad for the Oxford game, it’s hardly ages.
