Agree mostly. Would play Ajayi for Ihiewke, Lavery for Ball. Let's get game won early. Half time would bring Mattock on for Purrington. Taylor to come on. Possible Palmer but I'd like to see what Wiles can do.
As sure as night follows day a minority of morons will drag their offspring on to the pitch at full-time. All hell will break loose if one of those youngsters gets injured in the rush. As a result our club could be punished big time.
They ought to turn on the pitch water sprinklers at the end of the game. That might clear the pitch. On second thoughts best not to do that. Some might enjoy the free shower. One shower a week might even be too much for a very small minority.
Cardboard cut outs of stewards wearing hi-vis jackets would be more effective. Strung together in lines would delay any intended pitch invasion. As for the ne'er do wells, they wouldn't even notice the difference.
Meanwhile back in the room I would put Smith on the bench or even rest him.
I agree about Smith. We have cover and choices in all positions except with Smith. We have other centre forwards but apart from the unavailable Proctor we don't have any other player who could come in and do the job that Smith does, and which is key to how we play. For me that makes him the player we can least afford to lose to injury or suspension for the playoffs, and unfortunately the nature of his game probably makes him the player most likely to get whacked. Play him for 45 minutes at most today.
I wouldn't risk him either - let's face it Blackpool will just barrel into us knowing we have more important games coming up and a loss today wouldn't be the end of the world - better that than injuries.
Even better pour olive oil on the track around the pitch then we get to laugh when genetic failures slide on their arses creating obstacles for the lemmings following them

I recommend cargo nets. It would be like It's a Knockout re runs, what a laugh that would be, all the deadbeats rolling and tumbling making themselves look more the jerks they are
I hope I'm wrong but it looks like a "perfect storm" scenario to me. Lovely weather, stupid 530pm kick off time & knuckledraggers who'll have been in the pub since 1030am. God help the pitch at 715pm.
