Rest him. Not worth the risk of him getting injured or sent off.

The quote of Rik e B's "fans ready to turn" made me chuckle as the majority of the 'regular posters' on here turned and have been trying to turn others months ago. Thankfully their efforts have not been rewarded as the 4500 crowd on Saturday shows the majority of the paying public are still behind their team. However back to the point of the thread surely it is in our interest to ensure Tranmere are kept out of the play offs and that we finish 3rd so start Podge and if on opportunity comes to take him off after an hour or so take it.

I think Braintree will take care of that. They only need a point against Altringham and should manage that.

We should 100% pick our strongest team on Saturday. 3rd place and a home 2nd Leg is absolutely crucial. We don't want another Newport where they come to BP in the 1st Leg and shut up shop and nick a 1-0 win- especially as the goals have dried up at BP recently.
Last season was easy because Eastleigh had to come to BP and take the game to us. If we had been at home first they would have parked the bus.

I don't think Podge would be very happy if he doesn't play and Holman ends up being top goal scorer.

The ONLY concern from the clubs point of view as to whether Podge plays or not is whatever is best for the promotion chances of GTFC. Personal pride as top scorer or fans bets shouldn't come in to it. Of course I hope he gets it whatever happens, and those with a bet on him can buy the champers after the Wembley play off win

| The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

Put out the reserves/those needing match fitness, inc a rest for Macca, dont agree it matters where we finish, we will have to win games either home or away so it is purely down to the team/manager /officials if we get through not who or what order we play in.

Agree with this. It might be pure coincidence but the only year we've got to the final we were at home second.

Ok but what if we lose the away leg, (everyone seems to think we will start the home game with lead but thats no more likely than us starting with a deficit if form is anything to go by), they can still park the bus at BP
