Resting players for the play offs

[greenpaper55]

Is it worth resting some of the younger players in the next few games as we are guaranteed a play off place so they maybe return fresher for the important games that lie ahead ? a few looked like they were running on empty today so why not use our squad to our advantage ?

McGinn for starters

Absolutely. The next four league games are irrelevatand we should user them to get out key players fit for our games in May. Nothing else matters.

Not quite irrelevant.
Yes - we are defo in the plaŷoffs but position in league determines who plays at home first and that's supposed to give the second leg home team the psychological advantage. Doesn't always work out that way though.

Our midfield looked knackered going into extra time today. We really do need the likes of McGeough and Carmichael back to allow some squad rotation whilst still fielding a strong team.

It may not be a common feeling here but I prefer Boyle as an impact player due to his pace and we will be lucky to get 90 minutes out of Farid too often this season.

We do need to win games too though if we are to overthrow Falkirk and finish second. An interesting quandary for Stubbs midweek. If we lose, it's time to rotate and make sure we have another couple of months running in us as the games will come thick and fast.
