This game is a complete dead rubber. I say let’s do a Brian Little and play the kids - one more chance for Lowe to see what he can do.
Simkin, Sidibe, Jojić, Lowe, and Ty to start - make Ty captain and give him a warm send-off.

I think that there’s a good balance to be had. Laurent has been excellent but if we don’t bring in Sidibe soon, what is the point of an academy? Mate he’s 17 ffs. Hardly past it is he? No, he’s not. He’s also played a couple of times before SS but not since (I think). It would represent a real chance for him to show what he can do in league competition before next season starts. It can also showcase him for loans if need be.

Isn’t Thompson out of contract? Assume we won’t renew. Think we will. I doubt if there's a better utility player in the Championship and the Sentinel reports there is a one year option. His wages are peanuts - less than 5k a week. Can I get 5k a week? It’s only “peanuts” apparently…

What I love is that playing the youngsters means we will lose. Because playing the older ones has been so fucking successful 🤣🤣 It’s a game where we need to play who will be here next season. Really? What would be the point and purpose in that? Maybe you have seen something in your crystal ball. What would be the point in playing people that will be here next season? Is that a serious question?

He’s got the most annoying habit of arguing with everybody including himself. On the one hand he vehemently supports the idea of playing all the ‘youngster’ because the senior players haven’t performed, next breathe he advocates starting only Sidibe from the young brigade. The bloke’s just unstable in my view. I have said there’d be no issue with it but just that it should Sidibe because none of the others should be here next season playing. That’s not unstable it’s a balanced view. It’s really not difficult to fathom is it.

I assume you mean no, he’s not past it rather than no, he’s not 17? And the fact that you highlight what he has already achieved at such a young age and what could be available for him next season kind of demonstrates the point of the academy. By the way it’s hardly surprising he hasn’t featured under SS as we’ve been deep in a relegation fight since he arrived. Hardly the conditions to blood a promising starlet.

Is that a serious question? Of course it is. Playing one game in a dead rubber would make little or no difference in my opinion. Therefore just keep the team unchanged. I don't know what you have seen in your crystal ball that makes you form a different opinion but you are entitled to it.

Apart from Junior the U21s are not ready for the first team squad. A few need to go out on loan next year to get experience. Play the same team that won away at Southampton

I don't know what you have seen in your crystal ball that makes you form a different opinion but you are entitled to it. Forming partnerships and seeing what can be done. There’s far more to get from it than playing someone like McNally who shouldn’t be back next season. It’s not about a crystal ball but there’s no point giving game time to people that won’t be here next season. I would hope the manager has a good idea of who that is.

Forming partnerships in a game that does not matter and just the one game, don't be ridiculous. You need to clear the mist from your crystal ball or use a different medium.

There’s always an excuse not to give opportunities to players. It seems that the only time we could ever give a player a chance is if we are 4-0 up at half time. The only midfielder who can claim to have a decent season this year is Burger. The rest have been below par. It’s a nothing game. In my opinion, it’s a game we should play as strong a team as possible whilst also leaving some room for 1-2 youngsters. The time to play youngsters is when there is nothing on the line. How is this not the case here?

So you don’t think it’d be useful for Burger and Sidibe to play together then? Of course it is. Sol could be a really useful player next season and this is a great chance for him to get more experience and to see how they can play together. Again no crystal ball needed, just common sense.

You are still flogging it then. Common sense to me is that they would have looked at different combinations and partnerships in training not in some game that does not matter at the seasons end but from a confidence point of view we try to win. I think your magical, mystical powers are failing you, give it up and stop digging.

Sidibe and Junior should start, other than that I would keep it the same. That gives us a good balance between trying to win and giving some younger players a go.

I like McNally and think he's becoming a very good footballer - technically very good on the ball for a centre half.
