Players needing a rest?

Fixture pile up this month. I think Rhodes has worked his socks off as have a few others mentioned.
 
Connolly will be replaced by Pennington when fully match fit.
Husband no obvious replacement on the left of the 3 bar Connolly who's been playing there EFL cup games.😂
Drop Rhodes no thanks.
CJ maybe.
 
We could play Gabriel as that right centre back as it’s a hybrid RCB / RFB role (see Jimmy H marauding) instead of Connolly. I don’t see either Casey or Marv doing it

CJ RWB role could be Lyons or Gabriel again or he might consider Dale for it.

Rhodes has to start. I knew he’d struggle v Forest as Prem defenders are good at anticipation of his clever runs and don’t switch off like L1 defenders do. So if those runs are covered he doesn’t have blistering pace or tricks to fall back on. He will be back to being JR on Saturday I’m sure.

I like having the wasp on the bench. His energy and Joseph’s really told on Forests defence last night.
 
As I said to MrsDP earlier in the week, 'I'm glad we're out', let's concentrate on the league'.
We've had too many fixtures already.
