gashauskis9 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I thought Edwards would be a shoe in start today. Good at pressing. On the positive side, Cochrane’s omission suggests he could be playing next week. We need his composure on a big pitch rather than panic merchants like the Ollies.

Brighton Jambo Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I can see the logic of playing some first team regulars particularly in goal/defence. Getting absolutely pumped a week before we play them in the cup final isn’t sensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auldreidy1874 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 We don't have a huge squad and with injuries probably cannot avoid playing first team players. Would be too much of a gamble playing more reserve players against them. Maybe looking to keep them hungry and avoid a big defeat ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is given a marking role he does it well but it does hamper his forward play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
