Well the so called 'starting 11' have played 1 game in 2-weeks (defeat) so shielding em for Saturday doesn't really add up.
Also, Pederson needs a victory for his own self esteem but I don't see it coming anytime soon in the league ... we're all but relegated anyway when the deduction hits us so he might as well have gone all out for the win.
Just can't see us winning more than a handful of games all season so what's it matter to save em for league games. Hasn't done much good so far.
DaftJon may well sack him and shove all the blame his way.
