Resting Reda

[westendspitfire]

Given we have 3 games in a week starting Saturday its probably unrealistic that Reda will play all 3. Would you play him the 2 Saturday games or have him in the team for Forest Green?

I'm thinking the FG game could really get the season rolling...

Surely he will be able to manage 2 out of 3 or even all 3 given they have a week until our next game. If you rest him for one its southport at home.

We did alright without him at Bromley so rest him against southport I think we will need him when we play FG

I'm sure that RM has Reda in his ideal starting 11 for the game at FGR. I agree with the posts above. IF the Big Man can't play 3 games on the trot, better to save him for the Forest Green tie and play him again against Macclesfield 4 days later if he's OK.

The only problem i see at the moment with Reda is his fitness which in time will improve so RM seems to be allowing a full week for him to recover fully. If that's the case playing him at FGR and Macclesfield(both vital games) may be an issue. It's an interesting dilemma but it was good that Reda has played the full 90 mins of each game even after a few knocks(I for one was holding my brief when he went down yesterday but thankfully he was able to continue)

With currently 5 CB's and Partington we should be able to rest Reda or anyone else in the back line as much as possible, that's what will help us in the long term over this long hard season.

I think if he is fully fit then we will play him against Southport. Then (as the game situation allows) perhaps take him off after an hour or so.

See how things look for FGR early next week.

If Reda is 80-90% fit for Southport then maybe rest him for that game.
