That has to be the stupidest post ever posted on this forum and that takes some doing. Resting players for the first game of the season, lord give me strength.

We have daft posts and daft posters, but I am with Martin, this one is as daft as it gets. We need to win our first fame to gain momentum and not waste crowd enthusiasm as we have done time after time in the past.

Whoops game not fame

Personally I'd like to see;



1.Mullaney

2.Meli

8.Griffin

9.Lee

10.McPhearson

11.Hock

12.Hansen

13.Dixon



14.Theo

15.Morley

Whoops game not fame

We must put the strongest possible team out for the first few games to build a good head of steam up, the Wakefield game especially we need to go out all guns blazing from the first to last minute. A big game and even bigger win would shut some detractors up and I'd love nothing more than the idiots on SKY to be forced to eat a massive piece of humble pie about the club, the team and the Doc.

Essential we get on a roll and hopefully win the first two games.



The third match - a home game against Saints - is live on Sky. The players MUST show up for this game and showcase ourselves to the wider viewing public.

Do we have any decent goal kickers amongst them? We have struggled in that area for a long time. Genuine question, as I simply don't know who the kickers are.

Isn't Jake Mullaney in the frame for kicking duties?

It seems some disagree with the notion of not playing Chase.I think it would prevent the Wakefield followers from having a reason to be vociferous from minute one to minute eighty and also give an opportunity to Theo to demonstrate the full range of his skills to his national coach,Agar.

I am not too 'up' on incidents involving Chase in games against Wakefield but as there promises to be a large,expectant and excitable crowd for the first time at Barton I wouldn't mind seeing how the less experienced players perform in front of a large crowd.

There is an entire squad of players who need to perfect partnerships and need to gel.



I am hopeful of bigger attendances and bigger games later in the year,by which time the strongest starting line-up will be established.

Seems to me Red-Devils_Paw wants to overcomplicate things - keep it simple, put out our best side, win matches?

So let me get this straight, you think we should leave out Chase as he was instrumental in Cas wins against Wakey? Well that makes sense.



I'm just off to advise Liverpool to leave Suarez out for the return fixture against Norwich on account of his habit of scoring hat-tricks of world class goals against them. I'll let you know how I get on.

No.As I understand it Chase has been the target for baiting by the Wakefield fans.Whether or not we batter them from minute 1 to minute 80 their followers will attempt to 'bait' him throughout.

He played for Cas of course he's going to get stick from the Wakefield fans, it's part of being a professional player. I really don't understand your point. The whole team is going to stick from everyone this season, we are now the most hated club in the league because people are jealous. Shall we just rest our best players every game to protect them from abuse? You are talking nonsense.
