Rotating our Midfield

Hackney and Howson have both looked jaded in the last couple of matches.
Is it time to rotate the squad during this busy end of season schedule and give Barlaser and / or Mowatt an opportunity?
 
I'd say so, Hackney has been poor for a while now and Howson has struggled in the last few games.

If Barlaser isn't getting a look in now, when will he?
 
Does feel like now is the time for a little bit of rotation and it feels like Hackney needs a little rest. I would be happy if there is a change in midfield on Monday, could be a chance for Barlaser to show he’s Upto it.
 
when we were playing well and winning, you can understand why the midfield two remained unchanged, however i agree our midfield now could do with a shake-up, and I think he will change it, if not against Bristol then on Friday against Norwich.

I'd play Barlaser and Mowatt v Bristol C. Maybe even Bola / Dijksteel as well. Let's use the squad.

I wouldn’t advocate too many changes otherwise it’s certain defeat in my opinion but I’d rest Smith and bring in Dijksteel

It is so easy and I think wrong to make sweeping changes as a reaction to defeat against an inform relegation battling side who have just beaten Millwall, us and Watford and the best team in the league.
 
If not now then it isn't happening. This 11 look knackered to me. But I think it's doubtful he will change unless anyone is injured.
 
I’d like to see Barlaser in for hackney and djiksteel in for smith. You always try not to change a winning team. But now is a time for some tweaks after two losses in a row.

We don’t want to stagger over the line into the playoffs and then lose over two legs in the semis due to being knackered.
I think now is the time to be brave and freshen it up a bit with a couple of team changes
 
Hackney has had a crackin' season but is struggling at present. I'm surprised Dijksteel hasn't been tried at the back, given how we try to play out.
I hope the idea of bringing on Crooks as CF is binned. In some games, I'd have him in midfield, he at least adds some bite and threat.
 
Yeah I don't think it is necessarily reacting to 2 defeats, it's just they might be a bit jaded in some cases. The subs should be chomping at the bit for a start.
 
I’m expecting to see Barlaser get his chance today. If not now, I don’t know how he will break into the first team. Would love Djiksteel back but can’t see it unfortunately. I am worried about our CB options though. Fry clearly isn’t fit enough to play, if McNair or Lenihan get injured who on earth do we bring in?
 
What worries me about throwing loads of players in like some suggest is they haven’t been playing games so there’s no match fitness. Dijksteel hasn’t even been on the bench.

Making wholesale changes would worry me too and certainly should not happen. Most are advocating just one or two changes which I agree with.
 
You say give the midfield two a break but surely having a break is the problem,we were flying before the international break. It must of been a nightmare playing against Burnley they are very strong and tenacious one minute then falling over at the slightest contact next minute.
