Having now secured a play off place should we be looking to rest as many players as possible for next Saturdays clash with Reading? Also Davies on 9 bookings would be a risk.
Looks like Blackpool have picked up a bit of form going into the play off so wouldn't be a disaster if we finished 6th as that would mean playing West spam, not really sure who I would rather play to be honest. Thoughts?

Should we rest players next Week?

If it was me I would rest players next week.
I would like to finish 4th just for the away game to be on the Friday night but if we finish 6th th away game will be bank holiday Monday so that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
The players looked tired towards the end on Saturday, however tere are not many players left that we can play.
I would play Redmond and Townsend and rest Burke and play Rooney and Eric upfront but other than that we have no players to bring in!

If Davies gets booked it will be ok ,he started a clean sheet a couple of weeks ago.. kro

I think there may be a couple of changes however, CH will not want to go into the play offs on the back of a defeat and there is still 4th place to play for. Hopefully we can get a positive result and go into the play offs with momentum and confidence. KRO

Fantastic news regarding Davies if that is true.

I'm kinda of hoping despite how much I hate them that west ham pip Southampton to the play off spot because west ham on a bit of a roll at the minute and hitting form plus saints would be absolutely gutted having been top 2 all season and I couldn't see them recovering to win the play offs

Tonight's result was probably the best we could have hoped for. Obviously, it depends on where we finish, but we could be playing either Southampton or West Ham in the play off semi- either way we'd be playing a very very disappointed team that won't have had the luxury of resting key players in their final league match of the season.

How did you work out that we will play southampton or west ham in the semis ? 3rd plays 6th and 4th plays 5th. So your either saying we will finnish 6th or you've got it muddled up

U13759,
I said we could play them, not would, depending on where we finish; . there's always a chance that we will finish 6th if Cardiff win and we don't. Whoever we play, we're in for a battle though.

Bluenoseden your right on both counts we could end up 6th and be in for a battle, but I dont buy into playing home 2nd leg. Remember 10 years ago ? Millwall home 1st leg, and we still got to the millenium
