I don’t think anyone is ‘rested’. More like making sure the subs are match sharp.. Still a strong side, Luke & Teddy deserve a starting position..
The strikers have been swapping around all season anyway Phillips has been underperforming for a while. Russell is absolutely... erm not playing well enough Connell has been ill Andersen, could be for any reason. Resting, injured, Ill, anything.
People keep saying Phillips has been poor he's still continued to be involved in goals and provide assists.
This is effectively like the penultimate pre season friendly. Surprised none of Mads, Connell or Phillips are on the bench, but need to make sure they are ready. Good to give some playing time to cundy, Benson and Luke Thomas as well. Think it will be strongest possible team next week
It's made us realise we need to.be sharper at the back and we need to be at full strength. Winning 1-0 wouldn't have done us any favours as well.
Yes, that’s the good bit but for me was a game we could’ve won comfortably if we’d taken it seriously. Winning breeds confidence. Hope we’re going to treat next week’s game differently.
