LB may think its a game early and prefer to make the changes for a home game.
I disagree WBW. I would put young Booth in goal if for nothing else but to get his debut out of the way and away from home where the scrutiny isn't inclined to be quite so harsh as potentially 4000 people seizing on any errors. Although in fairness to those 4000 they do tend to give youngsters a chance. However, with regard to the rest of the squad, if we are paying them we should be paying them. We want as high a finish as possible and we ain't winning the league next season with the youngsters so the time to "blood" them is next season when they are integrated into the team when we know what we have got. One of the things the club do very well at and have since and during the Dario days. Chuck them in for half a dozen matches and then leave them out for a bit, and as happened with Tabiner bring them back. Tabs has looked more consistent since he was left out for a while.
