You are joking aren't you?
Presume you are referring to the rotation bit, which I would agree is unnecessary and highly unlikely, with regards to the game I thought we played ok, possibly over passed it sometimes around their box, but kept the ball well at times when we were seeing the game out which
Was realistically much of the 2nd half. St Neots to be fair were dreadful possibly about as bad as I’ve seen this season, Nabs may have had enough there but he didn’t put in a performance that was likely to impress anyone watching, I would need to check the stats but that may have been Luke Knights 100 booking for being an annoying gobby little s..t and I’m still trying to work out why their No 3 tried to play in his slippers.

In some ways I agree, pitches are heavy out there and the stupid 4g . K*ttering just a little more important than biggles. A few changes , even peaks said it would a good idea to use the whole squad this Xmas

Its being proactive rather then reactive, no point keeping the same XI until we are evidently tired on the pitch, not saying change the whole team but 3-4 wont hurt and gives other players minutes that will soon be called upon. On NYD the boys will have to put in one hell of a shift and that's the only thing we are asking for, and the fresher the players the better.

Agree mate! That pitch at LP will be the worst we have played on so far this season too!

These comments are suggesting that the K*ttering game is more important than the Biggleswade. The Biggleswade game is important as it is a home match and a win would send us onto NYD in high spirits. It may be that Peaksy is hoping Dolman is fit to play v both of them. A draw at LP would be quite acceptable. K*ttering also have a big game on Saturday at Kings Lynn.
