various threads. Play Sullivan, change the complete side next week, let Solly take a pen if we get one etc etc
Sorry but no, no, no. I want to win the last two games, I want at least 100 points, I want to beat Fulham's record points total for this division. No sentiment please. Just finish the job as efficiently and professionally as we started it.

I think the team sent out should be the best we have in every game, but sometimes playing youth players in games that are not going to effect the goal of the season makes sense. Shelvey was given a couple of games towards the season in 2008 and I think that helped in the following season.
I'd love 103 points, but I'd also like to see some of the players of the future get some exposure to the first team before the pressure of next season is upon us.
Powelly wants 100 points he has said so , there are still mini goals to be achieved and he seems to still be setting them , but sullivan, azeez, Shiva, cousins, poyet etc should all be given the chance to get involved
The usual team have been brilliant all season, champions to top it off. They get to the last game of the season, a full stadium, chance to play in front of nearly 27 thousand people and Powell says 'Sorry lads, you're not playing this week I want to play all these players that have played smaller parts in our season.'
I can understand the idea of giving the younger players a chance while we have no pressure etc but i'd be pretty peed off if I was left out of the last game after the season we have had.
We've won the league, we're confirmed as Champions, it's been a glorious season but there's no room for a bit of sentimentality? Blimey, you've all got hearts of stone!
Surely these next 2 games are an opportunity to say thanks to all the players in the squad, not just those who have played regularly. I'm sure Chris Powell would say himself this is a squad game now and all the fringe players deserve an opportunity for us to show our appreciation of them. As Stackitsteve says above, I can see that some of the regulars would be a bit peeved to be left out of the starting line-up for the last game but there's no reason on earth why players like Evina, Sullivan, Hayes & Hughes can't have a run out as a substitute in one or other of the last 2 games. And wouldn't it be lovely to see Jason Euell run out one last time in a Charlton shirt?
And why not let Solly take a penalty if we are winning? I can't believe anyone wouldn't love to see him score a goal.
Football is a ruthless business accepted. But if you can't show a little a little heart and sentimentality when the team is in the position it is, when can you show it?
Some old full back played out of position in midfield.
Game was passing him by. You know the rest.
Wouldnt mind having youngsters on the bench and Jason Euell maybe getting 15 mins against Hartlepool but i don't see the point in playing players who wont be here next season.
It is just circumstance that we have the chance to get 100 points next week and then the final game is the big party which we knew we want to win.
It's not that we don't WANT to be sentimental, it's just that there maybe isn't room/enough games left for it!
