80th minute sub...

I'm usually very critical of our policy of subs in the last 10 minutes however I'd be well pleased if, in the 80th minute of our last home game v Northampton, irrespective of score that Mullers was given a final 10 minute spell as a most welcome sub.

It would give each and every one of us the chance to say thanks and farewell to somebody who made a mssive contribution to our play off campaign last season.

I've a feeling that Mullers would like to say goodbye as well.

How about it.....???????

:D :D :D

If we are mathmatically safe then i would love to see the team Dawzi suggested. Just stick Drummy on the bench and put Stanners in his place.

For what it's worth, I think that's a decent idea, as long as we go in to the game mathematically safe.

NEIL!!! Obviously Sharpy is either a WUM or didn't watch Morecambe last season. If he didn't watch us last season and still makes such a rude comment, then you shouldn't be wasting your time responding and if he's a wind up merchant then you shouldn't bite. One day I'll train you! :roll:

Saying we should play players out of sentiment or giving the fringe players a run out is all well and good but if Northampton are still in with a chance of going down then we need to play our strongest team and approach it in a professional manner to keep the integrity of the league in tact.

If a team got relegated based on Northampton taking advantage of beating us with a weakened team you wouldnt be happy if you were the side that went down.

never looked at it that way. clubs have been deducted points that kind of thing, although i think if you have a squad of registered first team players it should up to the manager who he plays

i think Ian Holloway got in trouble for it this season and had to good go back about the injustice of it

I doubt if having a player who is retiring, on the bench, would be seen as a 'weakened squad'. The other players mentioned earlier may well be leaving, but their career is unlikely to be over, so I think there is a huge difference. Even if Paul doesn't come on the pitch, it would still be nice to say farewell and 'thank you'. We've had a game or two this season where we didn't even have a full bench, so I can't see it being a problem.

It would of course be dependent upon him being fit enough to play those ten minutes? Or he may want to remember his last game as being a goal scorer?
