Now nothing much rides on this game, I might be tempted to let Dorel have a game.
If Luke picked up an injury v Pompey, we would be in a real mess.

Got to play the youngsters and give the first team a rest, to risk any more injuries at this point would be ridiculous.

I wouldn't have Carey, McHugh or Matt anywhere near the team on Saturday.
Definitely would put Luke on the bench for this game. Tanner in for Carey. Wouldn't start McHugh even if he was fit. Reid looks like he won't feature anyway but if fit he needs at least 20 minutes at the end.
I'd play a weakened team, not too weakened, but the key players should be given a rest I reckon. It's all well and good trying to go into the play-offs with a good result, but that didn't exactly do us any good last season did it?
I think we should strike the balance right between completely throwing the game (ie, starting Bentley, Rooney, Hall and the like) and jeopardising our play-off hopes by starting players who are either our star men, carrying an injury or both of the above (ie, starting Carey, Hartley, McHugh or Matt). With McCormick being on such dire form lately, this also strikes me as the perfect game to start Dorel as a trial run. If he impresses, keep him in for play-offs. If he doesn't, fall back on McCormick. I'd go 3-5-2:
Dorel
Nelson
Forster
Sawyer
Mellor
Houghton
Boateng
Purrington
Tanner
Jervis
Harvey
Subs: McCormick, Bentley, Hall, Wylde, Carey, Rooney, Matt.
