.................... Trott.
Ng.... Chambers... Fish.... Bagan.
......... Wintle....Robertson
Isak.............Rubin........Willock.
...................Salech..

Reading between what BBM is saying Salech still might not be back ??

by **Forever Blue** » Mon Mar 23, 2026 12:35 pm

BBM:

Salech

“The intention is for him [Yousef Salech] to train over the course of the break.”

“It’ll be great for him to start getting back to fitness and we will see how he progresses, but I’m still keen not to put too much pressure on him in terms of when he’ll be available,so I don’t intend to rush him
back.

Annis I agree with you.

I think that at best Salech may possibly be on the bench but if were a gambling man I would be tempted to have a bet on him not making another appearance this season.

He may make the last game or two as a sub I suppose.

That’s exactly how I feel David and it’s cost us the Title / not investing.

I will be shocked if Salech on April 6th does 90mins

As you say Reading BBM words he’s still not ready
He may make the last game or two as a sub I suppose.

To be fair, he said similar about Rubin when he was injured and then he was in the squad for the next game. I think it's sending a message to the player through the media that they don't need to rush and potentially make things worse.

Could be wrong but that's what he said when Rubin was about to come back.

But I think he'll probably be on the bench for the first one or two games, that's what happened with Rubin and Tanner. Fine with that.

As for the team, I would go:

Trott
Ng Chambers Lawlor Bagan
Wintle Robertson
Ashford Rubin Willock
Kellyman

——————-Trott——————-
NG-Lawlor-Chambers-Bagan
——————Wintle——————-
————Joel——Robertson—-
Tanner——Kellyman——Willock

Providing Salech isn’t fit to start. If he is, Salech to replace Kellyman.

Bert Trautmann broke his neck ffs, get on the pitch Salech :bluebird:

by **1980s Bluebird** » Mon Mar 23, 2026 3:03 pm

I would give Tyrer a run out too, as Trott has no pressure on him at all :bluebird:

The false 9 may work against Peterborough because theres no way they will stick 10 men behind the ball. Could be a high scoring game this one.

by **Bonner** » Mon Mar 23, 2026 5:22 pm

Trott
Ng Chambers. Fish Bagan
joel colwill wintle robertson

I wouldn't change anything away from home, teams don't sit as deep so there easier to get in behind

The only changes I would make to the starting 11 from the blackpool game is to bring in Joel and willock for tanner and rubin

We miss joels energy in the middle and tanner looks tired and has had a poor couple of games

I thought Willock did well when he came on against Blackpool so deserves to start.

He caused their left back problems and forced their keeper into a good save.

If Salech is fit i would start him, if we get 50-60 minutes out of him great. He needs to be on the field ASAP.

by **stickywicket** » Wed Mar 25, 2026 1:29 pm

Anybody who thinks Salech will start is in cuckoo land

Na I wouldn't go with the false 9, it doesn't work for us

by **Pembroke bluebird** » Sat Apr 04, 2026 5:25 am

No way will salach be in the starting 11 when ever he returns when he is fit again he will appear from the bench with the amount of time he’s been injured
