I think we should play Taylor Satae and Swift so we can say goodbye. Clifford should be playing so we can thank him for his performances albeit for a short time. Balmforth should be reminded of first team standards by playing- he can shape up then for next season.
Among these essentially experienced guys perhaps a few of the likely first teamers coming up from the youth could appear. Or are the reserves playing in which case forget the latter?
A loss doesn’t matter a performance does!

I agree to an extent, but we would not benefit at all from a defeat, even less a heavy one, so for me we play the best 17 we can muster, it is important not to dispel any optimism and enthusiasm we as supporters have gleaned from a bad season. If we compete manfully and play to the last whistle, it will at least, show we are past the days of horrible blow out defeats, that we would certainly have endured in seasons gone.

If he doesnt give Balmforth a run off the bench then Smith has lost the plot.
Also for next season we could link up with Doncaster once again if they get promotion back to the Championship.Much easier for the player to travel

If we are as bad as people say then we should be losing this 70-0. That's how we used to go out.

FC win Clifford to score. Roll on 2024 I have never been so fed up watching FC as this season, the low point being the home Derby and Whinos away. Walked away that night absolutely drenched and depressed. Season ticket holder travelling from Leeds for home games, this is the least I have ever been to. Hoping to get my mojo back this winter, the last 6 season have worn me down.

It is those kind of messages that the boardroom of the club need to be reading. We stuck with them through some proper 5hit times, hammerings, false promises, Covid and the apparent resurgence.....and we are still 10th. Next season will be important as to whether I continue to spend money on season passes

Not just a season ticket, £180 parking pass, home & away shirt, hoodie, beer and food every home game, It sure adds up. But as with anything its a personal choice.

Clifford in for Jebson
Martin in for Carlos

Otherwise, same squad.

Pffft

Looks like it's another week of the same faces, bit of a shame shaul didn't get one last runout at home

Id like to have seen a few more youngsters but Shaul looked off the pace last time, theres no room for sentiment in sport he can have a clap at the end.

As said no accountability for being poor.

I'll be really disappointed if both Lovodua and Dywer are in the 17, particularly at the expense of Staverley.

Be interesting to see who isn't playing for the 18s at the weekend in their Semi Final - as people who don't qualify for that side, I would have included in the 1st team this weekend. I guess Martin is too old - but he won't play over Swift or McIntosh
