"do we rest key players against Plymouth and Blackpool or go for the juggler on both".

I would go with 4 4 2 until the end of the season, we may see the 4 5 1 in the Play-Off away leg?

If things carry on and pan out how they are looking at the moment, Millers finishing 4th and Plymouth possibly 5th, I can see both us and Plymouth resting players in the league game?

im hoping for scunny in playoffs so will be able to attend the away fixture and get double my money when we beat them from a loud scunny fan

I think after last Sat getitng it outta the way with a point and results going well, we should just go for it now, let the lads attack. Attacking play creating chances and scoring goals breeds confidence. Make no mistake Wigan were inept and dire on Saturday as much to do with their own way they approached the game as us playing 5 in the middle.

Palmer needs freedom to play, he's only little isn't he? - but wow he can pick a pass, look at our first chance the diagonal ball to the channel, we need more of this. But he can only do this with movement in front of him. Others have said he doesn't have that awareness to make those Frecks runs getting him 18-20 yards out getting onto the end of something and finding the net. If he can get coached to add that to his game he'll be one heck of a player. Wingers are gone from the game, that's what full backs are for these days, I think we have to have Vaulks, Towell and Palmer as a 3. They all give something different. It's how we accomodate, Ball, Forde, Williams, Taylor and Newell into that. Ihiekwe was absolutely immense on Saturday and Wood got in where it hurts. There was only a couple of times Grigg split them, he's very good at it and maybe should have buried his 1st half header but aside Iky won a huge amount of contested headers - if he played this way every week he'd be the first name on the teamsheet.

Warney has options, and that's important with the play offs. Last time we won by doing what we'd done all season long, but we were very very good at doing it, percentage football was what Evans drills into his players and we had the player mentality to make that work. We don't have that this time and need the ability to change things up depending on game cir***stances. Warney knows this, and it has come off for us a few times, we've all seen a few times this season when subs and / or shape changes have gained us points. We need to continue doing that. Our ability to put in a curve ball might make the difference in the play offs.

I wasn't aware that Plymouth and Blackpool had a juggler and am not clear on how going for him will in any way affect our chances in those games... 😀

Rotherham start with a 4-3-3 formation. Joe Newell on the bench.
