My post was not to suggest changes for the sake of change.

I was simply pointing out that we have the option to rotate players and given the short turn around as well as the hard impact of Thursday's game, it would seem sensible for some changes to players being made. There's still a long season ahead of us and with the lack of depth to our squad, rotation is a luxury we'll seldom be afforded this year.

But that being said, Cummins is showing himself to be a smart coach who knows what he's got and how to best use it.

Squad announcement:
James Donaldson, Adam Sidlow, Jamie Langley, Manase Manuokafoa, John Bateman, Brett Kearney, Nick Scruton, Heath L’Estrange, Adrian Purtell, Keith Lulia, Elliott Whitehead, Elliot Kear, Jarrod Sammut, Danny Addy, Tom Olbison, Adam O’Brien, Jobe Murphy, Jamie Foster, Matt Diskin

Blythe still struggling with an ankle injury and Walker out after those bangs to the head.

I think we'll line up something like

Kearney
Foster
Lulia
Purtell
Kear
Addy
Sammut
Scruton
L'Estrange
Manuokafoa
Olbison
Whitehead
Langley

Diskin
Sidlow
Donaldson
Murphey

Agree fully with that. We don't know how many players are carrying knocks and the Easter fixtures are just the time for those guys to be 'found out', but as you say FC is a smart guy and he'll know who needs some time out and who doesn't.

No, I just rate the kid.

I'd like to see:

Kearney
Kear
Purtell
Lulia
Foster
Addy
Sammut
Scruton
L'Estrange
Nas
Olbison
Whitehead
Donaldson

O Brien
Bateman
Sidlow
Langley

But I don't think he'll rest Diskin unless his hand is forced through injury.

1 Kearney
5 Kear
2 Purtell
3 Lulia
17 Foster
19 Addy
6 Sammut
8 Scruton
9 L'Estrange
10 Manuokafoa
16 Olbison
12 Whitehead
21 Donaldson

11 Bateman
13 Langley
20 O'Brien
27 Sidlow

Donaldson in for Walker, and O'Brien in for Diskin to give him a rest.

Personally I would drop Diskin, nevermind rest him. Thought he has been very poor recently and O'B deserving of a run.

My mate who reads but doesn't't post asked me to put that Diskin is crap and the sooner he retires the better.

Pitch inspection at 10am tomorrow. Game sounds in doubt.

To be fair, the rest of the pitch is fairly clear. It is mainly that corner and the goal line in front of the Coral stand.

Hope it's on.

Minus 2 tonight, 4c by ko. Could still be frosty at 10am

With freezing temperatures forecast tonight and a 10am inspection, you'd have to think there is a pretty big doubt that it will be on.

This is how the pitch is looking tonight. Great effort from everyone that's volunteered.

Is the pitch due to be covered overnight?
