Capt. Pants 4,277 Posted April 27 1 minute ago, KiwiScot said: it's get playoffs now to put out Farke and the Leeds. Quite. As useless as Leeds were last night I wouldn't bet my house on beating them over 2 legs. We need to get there first and take it as it comes. The lottery of the play-offs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only change. Can't agree with this, unless Barnes has a (slight) knock. The current Sargent/Barnes partnership was working despite the obvious shortcomings of the latter. Tinkering, but at least Fassnacht exhibits increasing defensive awareness of late. Clearly Rowe needs nursing and may be Barnes too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s too pedestrian for wider role but has a decent pass and seems to have a knack of getting into good positions in the box. Cant see Wagner trying anything new today though as he’s very conservative in his approach, also presume Barnes has a knock for same reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Bennett 789 Posted April 27 I suspect the sports science suggests that Barnes needs a lighter workload right now, can't imagine it's a tactical change. He'll be vitally important for any play off matches so being careful with him is completely sensible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless Fassnacht is being asked to do a Barnes impression at ten, it means a change of system, which does seem very odd at this stage of the season. Part of me wonders if Wagner has the away leg of the play-offs in mind, but we do have to get there first. I would definitely have picked the same team. As you, could just be injury related. Barnes is about 75, so he might need a bit of a rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if it's not him, then it's Sara, who's absolutely wasted in the Barnes role, so it's going to be something new either way, isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither do I actually, but the ad was famous and seems to have lasted the passing of time. Apparently it "fortifies the over forties."  When somebody mi****s a drive at my club, he is often asked if he took his Phyllosan that morning. Perhaps it's just a local thing, as there are lots of retirees down this way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, not nowhere - I got a similarly named product that started 'phall-' and attended to a, ahem, different old-man problem. My targeted ads are now going to be a nightmare, so thanks for that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
