Probably over the whole season ...YES.....in every league game. We need to try and avoid the injury crisis we experienced last season. You've seen the tackles, pace and ferocity of League 2 in the first three games (including the Cup against Bradfud). The easiest game physically was probably the Gillingham game.

Old legs muscles and bones need looking after..........the only way is fewer minutes on the pitch. And if we have two players for one position why not use them to best effect.

I agree with rotating the squad Exile and the older players, but 60 minutes against Newport, nothing against Bradford and 60 minutes against Gills.

Seamus played 90 minutes in both League games.....

My point is/was, surely he can play a full game?!?!?!

Maybe that is the thinking C.G., but I go back to Seamus

Yes maybe you are right, the only other things I can think of are:
1. Sean has complained-of or reported some sort of slight injury or is not fit? or
2. It's tactical and Coley thinks another player and/or system (formation) may change the game in our favour? or
3. Coley's not happy with Sean's performances?

A few more games may give us the answer...

sean has been a decent player for us, but now he has little pace,his corners are no-where near as good etc,its about time he was dropped but doubt that will ever happen and the reasons obvious to all but the daft or biased,

[andyd]

What still baffles me has it did last season both starting 11,s in the league have a left footed player on the right and a right footed ( Sean ) on the left.

Bias can work two ways Cashy (as can being daft)

Is that the inverted winger role??

Lots of Managers like it, I do not

Inverted nonsense.
If you’re up against a right-footed left-winger, or vice versa, you know he will inevitably look to cut back towards the centre, and cross the ball curling towards the goalkeeper. The attackers then have to chase the ball.
If it’s a left-footed winger, he will look to get past you down the wing and cross the ball curling away from the keeper, so the attackers have to meet the ball.

Either way, if players are one-footed the defenders know how to deal with them.

Generally Exile I get your point......those who can "dribble" add another dimension if they can "dribble into the box......both Whalley and Longello can do this, but don't attempt it often enough I my opinion......George Best was the MASTER......

I agree with you Exile, but you see it more and more

You also see - another one I hate - corners being taken the same way and going away from goal!! Swing it in, right on top of the keeper
