I was a little surprised at the virtually full strength team put out on Tuesday and it seems to have back fired with Woods ad Walker probably out.

Woods in particular should have been rested given his recent return from a serious injury but was no doubt keen to play.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but I bet Ronnie is wishing he had given more fringe players the chance to impress and keep our main assets fresh for Saturday.

Woods and Walker out, says in the Echo today that he will be looking to bring in a loan signing before Saturday.

Whats the point having a squad when he brings a loan player in at every injury? Give Ebby Nelson a go in Woods place.

Too right Tree - what's the point in all of the 'fringe players'?

And, where's Parnaby when you need him?

Now add paynter to the list, I mentioned this early on in week that both woods and paynter looked like they were carrying injuries.

We were always going to lose to Bournemouth unless u live in dreamland.
Even Ronnie quoted the Carlisle game was the most important so some strange decisions to play people who werent fully fit.

This game looking harder than it did after the Newport game for sure!

Anyone thinking could be mind games for Carlisle with Paynter? Or am I just being optimistic?

Mind games in my opinion. They'll prepare for Oates.

Ronnie always complains about the injuries, come Saturday they're magically fine.

Did it plenty of times last season.

Was pleased he started with his strongest side like.

And there I was thinking this was another trump thread..

Woods and Paynter to start today
