Well it's Barrow on Monday and as fun as these last minute comeback wins have been over the last couple of games, I'd be happy if we get through a game against a team with 1 win in 10 games with a decent win with a nice big scoreline

It's games like this where we need to be making the most of our large squad. Use the fresh players and we should be ok.

I'd personally go for:

Pickersgill
Foggin-Johnston
Oakes
Gibson
Grant
Lilley
Milnes
Kirk
Hallas
Bustin
Garside
Hodgson
Minchella

Wildie
Peltier
Wood
Milton

EDIT: Maybe Green on the bench instead of Wood/Milton.

Possibly give Ryan and Crossley a rest as they have played all games so far although Ryan can be in if needs be. We also need to pick and choose which games Webster plays and for me, to keep him fresh, he misses either this one or Rochdale next weekend.

I'd also like to see Wildie rested in one of the next two games. Lilley/Hallas at hooker. Pickersgill 6, Milnes 7, Ryan at 1.

I’m sure Roche will be in the reckoning for Monday as well

Think we need to put a score on Barrow to improve their points difference. They've won game all year, have a short turn around and a long drive from Cumbria. I'll be disappointed if we don't win by 40.

Green looked to be limping and I think Minchella went off in the middle of our comeback so can't see them playing. Got to be careful with Milnes too. Only 19 and it's a long old season. Personally I'd go.

1. Ryan
2. Ricketts. (Grants not doing it for me)
3. Gibson
4. Oakes
5. DFJ
6. Pickersgill
7. Lilley
8. Kirk
9. Wildie
10. Bustin
11. Roche
12. Garside
13. Milton

14. Hallas
15. Wood
16. Peltier
17. Hodgson

Elliot didn’t get injured he was just knackered

Im not surprised. I'd have been dead....

Yes.
We all love watching in the sunshine in shorts and t shirts but it certainly takes it out of the players

Tempted to rotate/rest a few. Obviously Green, Peltier, Garside won't need resting.

Minichella, Crossley, Wildie, Storton, Milnes and Webster might.

It's a balancing act, and we don't want to rest them all at once and lose momentum. Probably won't be able to rest Wildie as there's nobody with the same level of influence, organisational skill or dummy half running ability to replace him with now Georgie boy is injured.

I'm pretty sure Kear said Peltier wouldn't play both Friday and Monday as it was too soon after he only came back from injury last weekend.

I’d still chuck Peltier on the bench in all fairness, needs some gametime to increase his match fitness. But at the same time I understand your point that he’s just come back from injury. As someone said before, it’s a balancing act!

Be interesting to see the team Kear selects. Be interesting to see if he picks Pickersgill.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. JK can adjust the minutes he plays to suit and if necessary you've still got one of the big hitters in the side.

No Garside, seems strange

It might just be temporary if DFG if the physio has pulled him out to rest this one.
Picksersgill was dropped and now it's his chance to get back in the team. Which is how it should be.

This is quite a difficult one to decide who to leave out. Maybe Mike Wood if he hasn't fully recovered from S&D. Maybe Storton/Crossley to rest.

Surprised to see no Oakes in there. Thought he's been quite consistent this season.

He has, but JK has said all along he would use the squad and I guess it's simply that.

Garside is off to Dewsbury on loan

Doesn’t surprise me to be fair but he’s done ok for us so thanks

He's a decent player is Garside but like any other if they've been taken over in the pecking order by young guns and we have appropriate amounts of cover then there's no point in us keeping players if we can offload them.

Can anyone shed any light on the Farrell red card?

I think the tackler got his face in the way of Farrell's elbow.

Tough watch that. We looked really lethargic (to be expected) but we really need to sort out our last tackle plays and get some runners running back on the inside instead of passing it down the line and all running in same direction.
Should have put a score on Barrow IMO they've won 1 game all year and had a long trip down with their 2nd game in 4 days.

I think Pickersgill as our number 1 is done dusted and Minchella needs to stay at 13.

Accusation of biting, Farrell reacted (heard from some fans from main stand side) couldn’t see that for from the terrace!

Webster got bitten that was put on report .
