Quite a turnaround indeed. Looking forward to watching it on TV to see who impresses. The Beeb should give the game extended coverage, and may even be first up. KRO

I agree but probably Forest as that was an upset

Unable to follow the game but reading the reports the Blues second half was up a notch and got them out of a very awkward situation.

Did'nt think Rowetts decision to make 10 changes was up with the best of his decisions so far this season,appears good in theory with the thinking a group of full time professionals whatever the lineup should be more than capable of winning against a bunch of part timers without too many difficulties but life is'nt always so easy and the result I think could have easily gone the other way,not sure what Rowetts thoughts are!

Well I guess it took the 11 professionals who haven't played a competitive game together 45 minutes to catch up with the 11 amateurs who have been playing together all season. Gary Rowett certainly took a risk and it wasn't obvious to me that so many first team players needed a rest (5 rest days since Forest and a week before Wigan). Surely it's better to use your better players to establish a lead then bring them off for a rest than to find yourself behind and chasing the game? Isn't that why they usually send the marines in first? That said, it worked. So who am I to judge. Well done Gary and KRO...

As I said in a earlier post he was probably worried about the clogging factor and a terrible pitch ,in his head maybe we are not out of the relegation fight until we have 43 points, so he can not risk his better players he did change 10 definite message there, might have noted a few performances for the A team, good management ,but was not thinking that at 1/2 time

one thing the game proved is that Zigic & Thomas are not that sharp in front of goal.
(I know Wes scored 2 but missed easier chances and stupidly ran off side when we were 5 on 2)
Over all a good run out for our reserves

I didn't see the pitch but sounded terrible. You are probably right in terms of Rowett's thinking Bolt. He has a stable starting 11 and probably wants to keep it that way as long as the results keep coming.
