Move Klose 303 Posted May 3, 2021 A game with nothing riding on it, maybe give some of the others a run out, some a farewell game, rest the guys going to the euros? Imagine how gutted Pukki would be to get injured in a nothing game and miss the euros, the first major tournament Finland have qualified for. I'd go with Nyland Mumba Hanley Omobamidele Quintilla Sorensen Tettey Hernandez Vrancic Placheta Hugill Krul Aarons Giannoulis McLean Buendia Stiepermann Cantwell Dowell Pukki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary73 159 Posted May 3, 2021 There are records still to go for so I'd go with a pretty strong team. It will be interesting to see what Barnsley do as they could rest players given they are already in the playoffs. If they lose they are guaranteed Brentford over two legs but could finish 5th and get Bournemouth or Swansea depending on other results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazzaJet 252 Posted May 3, 2021 I’d go for the same lineup as v Reading with Sorensen replacing the injured Skipp. I know we’ve got nothing to play for now and broken our all time points record, but would love to increase our points record to 99. Our win and Watford’s defeat on Saturday also means we’re guaranteed to finish at least 5 points clear at the top of the table but if we win we will finish at least 8 points clear, possibly even 10 or 11 and I would love that. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Fever 3,767 Posted May 3, 2021 Definitely Sorenson in for Skipp but otherwise leave as is - and yes lots of cameos at the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paddycanary 539 Posted May 3, 2021 Krul Aarons Omobamidele Hanley Quintilla Sorensen Tettey Buendia Dowell Cantwell Hugill Bench: Pukki, Vrancic, Onel, Stiepermann, Mumba, Giannoulis, McLean, Placheta, Nyland Give Tettey a 60min send-off, leave Xavi in for the last game, bed Sorensen in, give Dowell another chance to impress, the Goat has done his job; bring him on for the last 20mins. Off the bench: Vrancic & Stieps for probably their final appearances, 20mins for Mumba (and Pukki) & one out of Hernandez & Placheta Canaries to win 3 -1. Aarons, Cantwell and Pukki off the bench on the scoresheet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Six Pack 92 Posted May 3, 2021 If we are serious about winning this game - Barnsley are a difficult team to break down and won't just lie down. I would have Tettey in for Skipp and Vrancic in for Dowell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Canary 697 Posted May 4, 2021 I bet they are all desperate to play, or at least start the game. Not expecting anything other than or strongest team other than a few goodbyes near the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smooth 114 Posted May 4, 2021 The Barnsley boss has asked for a reaction to their loss from what I have read and the manner of the loss. This is the perfect preparation for them, title winning team and at home. So a chance to perform well and build for 2 tough ties that can see them at Wembley. I would love Barnsley to go up, much smaller team than the others and this is the best game to prepare for it. It is not playing a relegation team who will battle for everything. I would expect lungi or tettey in for Skipp as the only change. I would like lungi to start and tettey to come on later in the game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,161 Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Seeing Sorensen get a full ninety minutes in his main role, and the position he was bought for, is my preference over Tettey being employed for sentimental reasons. Neither should I think AT is particularly bothered about playing at an empty Oakwell Stadium in a meaningless game as a farewell gesture. He has, and will likely still have, plenty of more worthwhile plaudits over and above such un-pragmatic niceties. Some have suggested a testimonial of some sorts as a decent farewell. Perhaps that's a good idea, although wasn't there talk of last appearance at Carrow Road on the day of Wes Hoolahan's testimonial when both were out of contract? Others that I would like to see given a full game are Mumba, Martin and Idah. It's all about the future now. Ditto for Tettey who is probably now more involved in his move back to Norway and his preparedness for it. Edited May 4, 2021 by BroadstairsR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With that said Im sure Pukki wouldnt mind scoring a goal or two to keep his monetum up. Also, with a hat trick he could equal his personal championship scoring record.

cambridgeshire canary 6,705 Posted May 4, 2021 Everyone wondering if we should go full strength or rotate- Why not just send out a mixed teams and then prehaps sub others on/off at half time? Much as it would be nice to get 99 points given this match means nothing why not treat it as an unoffical pre season friendly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Vadis 151 Posted May 4, 2021 Nah, full strength for me. Sørensen in for the injured Skipp and Giannoulis back in as the only changes. Finish the season off as best we can and try to get that 99 pts mark. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,317 Posted May 4, 2021 As much as I think we should give Tettey a run out I think giving Sorensen another run out in that position is probably the main priority from this game in terms of changes. If Farke wants to rest the likes of Kenny and Pukki to keep them fresh then so be it but if its a like for like swap for Skipp then Sorensen comes into the side in my book.

ged in the onion bag 855 Posted May 4, 2021 Krul Aarons - Omobamidele - Hanley - Giannoulis Sorensen - McLean Buendia - Dowell - Cantwell Pukki Pukki to catch Toney on 30 goals... 99 points... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,120 Posted May 4, 2021 Similarly to the Sorensen for Skipp idea, if we're resigned to losing Max next season, shouldn't we be giving Mumba a chance to see what he can do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanisabaddog 4,911 Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) I would leave out anyone who is playing in the Euros. And after what happened with James Maddison I'd leave Emi and Max out as well Edited May 4, 2021 by dylanisabaddog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted May 4, 2021 They'll want the 99 points, we'll have a full squad out. Farke has already said he won't tinker, I'd imagine we'll bring on Tetts and Vrancic for the last 20 minutes again if they are off Krull Aaron Omo Hanley Dimi (or Quintilla if they want to give him a send-off I suppose) Sorensen McLean Emi Dowell Todd Pukki Let's get those 99 points!

Mr Tea 105 Posted May 4, 2021 If I was Barnsley I’d be fielding a team that doesn’t include any crucial players. In their shoes it would be like risking Emi being out for a knock in a game that isn’t really that important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
