Get wins, then rotate if tired.. Surely 2 a week isn't too much to ask. If it was late season, it'd be different for me, but rotation hasn't brought us any joy so far :/
Think Barry, Rom and Baines should be rested personally. Gibson, Eto'o and oviedo coming in shouldn't weaken us too much. Browning at RB too would be nice.

This with bells on. Personally don't want to see more than 3 changes.
 
I think it is all about experience for Ledson. He may be on the bench and depending on how the games goes he may get a few minutes at the end..we are winning well or losing badly.
It is all about the learning curve for a young player. It is obvious that as far as the club are concerned he is the next academy product into the first team.

It's 3 in eight days though isn't it, we were full strength v Liverpool.

No chance he's going full strength in all 3 games and tomorrow is deffo where I'd rest players, it's the game we're least likely to win in this group anyway imo.

Hopefully we'll rest all of our players tonight.

The fiasco of pre-season (results don't matter, lid) was, I suspect, Martinez hoping to continue developing sharpness and fitness throughout the early stages of the season in order to avoid burn-out come March/April. I'd only rest those who might be in need of a break tomorrow. Hopefully we'll get a result and have qualification in the bag with a game or two spare, then we can start Ledson as a false No.1

Oops... :blush:
 

The other young English lad profiled, Solanke, has looked very good for the England U17s. Pity he is at Chelsea as he'll struggle to get first team appearances.

Having read Jose's comments about him and a couple of others though, sounds like he might give them their chance.

Perhaps Jose has turned over a new leaf and will give young players a chance...but when he returned to the league he said his arguments with Wenger were in the past!

I was hoping he'd play the young defender who featured at Anfield, Thomas Kalas, this year but along with lots of other Chelsea youngsters he was sent off on loan again.
