According to RL he will have 1 on 1 talks this week with each player to let them know who is and isn't in his plans next season....
Some of us know that has already happened with the academy / young pro's....

So my question(s) would be......:-

Should any not wanted next season be in the squad on Saturday (or even Friday) ? OR

Should we presume that anyone 'in the squad' is in the plans for next season ??

I ask this not expecting any official announcement this week about how RL's conversations go.

IF you answer NO to the 1st question, does that include Hunts and who would you put on the bench in their places ?

{Friday being the rumoured day for the C L Final against Burnley} if so, do we play the 'released players' in that and keep the youth lads for Saturday ?
 
RL strikes me as being quite risk averse…

I can’t see him fielding a number of youth players, not least because he will want to be fair to Sheff Utd…
we could be fair to M'boro and play Ripley against his boyhood team 🤣

Now Rovers cant get in I'm not bothered who the play off 4 are and so would rather we selected a squad based on our needs not another club whose play off push is financed by Parachute payments alone.
 
There's no point playing too many youth players at once, the point of promoting them would be to see how they are able to play with the senior squad members. Like Mikey being able to get onto a through ball from Browne or laying it off for uh... Maguire.

But I'd like to see two or three over the course of the match!
 
I was probably thinking something like.

Iverson

Sepp; Bambo; Hughes (I expect Bauer to be rested).

Potts; Whiteman; Cunningham

McCann DJ

Riis; Archer...... (Browne rested).

BENCH: Ripley; Hunts; Browne; ONeil; Nevin; Bennett; Maguire.

CENTRAL LEAGUE: (Friday)

Hudson

Olosande; Lindsay; Blanchard

Seary; Rafferty Earl

Bayliss & Harrop

Rodwell Grant (or Sinclair) and Holland Wilkinson.

Subs: Whoever I've forgotten 😛
 
End of the day Bayliss and Harrop have made very little impact at league one level.

Guess the hope was with Wigan going up they'd sign Bayliss permanently now but he's started 4 games all season.

If what I'm looking at is correct Harrop didn't feature in single Fletwood games so what's happened there, injured again or not good enough to get in league 1 team that was incredibly lucky to stay up on 40 points.

Both dead losses now so RL would be some miracle worker to get anything from them at championship level now.

Rather he gave someone like McCann a proper go in pre season as he's been really underused last few months.
 
I don’t think Ryan Lowe would do the other teams fighting for the play offs a disservice of fielding other than what he considers his strongest team.
For what it’s worth I think he’s been giving us an indication of who’ll be around next season in his recent team selections and suspect most will already know if they have a future here.

Harrop got injured taking a corner about a minute into his debut there. Managed a couple of appearances since.

Bayliss played a little more, in a side that was excellent at that level, but still nowhere near what he would have wanted.

What about Barkhuizen playing in this team as well
 
having recovered from injury Harrop has started games for fleetwood recently. been subbed though. i guess still showing flashes of potential, but not the hardened player RL likes

Sorry Yoowell, but Lowe’s primary motivation should always be PNE, and PNE alone. If our last game gives him the opportunity to finalise his thoughts regards any player or players going forwards, then use the game as such.

Middlesbrough, quite rightly, wouldn't give a toss about us or anyone else if positions were reversed.

I get what your saying keeper but I think he’s already finalised his thoughts and will play what he considers his strongest team.
