Just listened to TW on his views from the match and he mentioned how good the shots fans were, singing throughout the game.

You clearly do not know me

We’re not safe yet Tony, beat fylde then we can look forward to the Woking game

Who is Tony?

I think we will be safe but I’m getting pissed off with losing to fylde, injuries occur whenever anyway

No idea

With regard to resting players (comments from earlier in this thread) not only are we at home on Tuesday, so are Woking who are at home to Rochdale. They need points a bit more than we do so should they rest players as well?

Makes a change from slagging them off . Tommy's gone all weird not playing Theo obviously resting him for something. Praising the fans all very un Tommy like

I think it's something where either approach is perfectly reasonable. All depends on the individual player in the end. I suspect they'll be more cautious than usual with minor niggles but if a player is fine they'll play.

Lose to fylde on Saturday because of pure stupidity and come 5 o’clock Saturday evening we could be 5 points clear of the drop having been 10 points clear 24 hours ago, totally brainless idea

Tuesday not Saturday re the fylde game

Could lose to fylde at full strength. It's all about which hypothetical you want to get most worked up about

[Silasgoldeen]

Three teams aren't going to make up 7 points on us in 7 games, which is what it'll take. So I'd assume that chances of a banged up player getting worse are far higher than relegation. But as I say, either choice is defensible.

[Alan B]

It's not so much about resting players, more about rotation and finding a balance between defending and attacking. Josh Barrett and James Henry rarely drop back to defend and that left us exposed in midfield yesterday.

If Maja is fit enough to play Tuesday I think he should start. With Keane Anderson also cup tied for the FA Trophy game, it would make sense to start with both and possibly Theo alongside to bolster the midfield with 2 up front.

Could lose to fylde if maradona or pele we’re playing for us but I’d be more annoyed if we fielded a weaker side and lost which is pure arrogance
