What circumstances would those be? Relatively meaningless fixtures when the majority of the first team are woefully out of form? Isn’t that quite literally the ideal time to blood a couple of youngsters? I didn't see a "woefully out of form first team" against Man Ure or Chelsea for that matter. We need something out of the last two games for the squad's confidence, if nothing else. The games aren't meaningless in the context of our post-lockdown meltdown.

There is a reason why there is no changes made. Our bench is like something from a Sunday league. Maybe - but personnel isn't the only thing you can change. Formation, tactics, Jeez, even if it's get Zaha and townsend to swap wings some more(or at all)

Last played in 2016 Would be curious about you. February/March. Retired twice but decied at the end of last season to prioritise playing over trekking over to Selhurst rubbish that Hodgson expects us to pay for. You still haven't addressed any of my points btw. Typical of the type of posters that blindly support Hodgson. What would you do if someone was in charge of one of your teams, who was refusuing to change a losing side and showed no interestest in the long term sustainability of the club?

Take our last bench. 9 players. 5 of them have played internationally, including for England, Germany, and the Netherlands. Played - past tense of the word play.

We’ve lost 6 in a row, failing to score in 5 of those. By absolutely any definition that’s a woeful run of form.

I was exaggerating with the Sunday league comparison but our subs bench as a whole is desperate. As for Meyer, being good enough for Germany at 19 means absolutely nothing right now when he can’t even get a kick for us. Roy may be 1 dimensional but there is a reason Meyer doesn’t play. He is not good enough to play.

I'll pop down the park on sunday and ask the local side how many of their players have had a call up for Germany. Not really word play is it? Reidewald might well be a current international if he got a look in.

Meyer has had two years to make his mark, He hasn’t had a run, because he hasn’t warranted a run, he has made any number of appearances ,apart from the odd bright ten minutes he has not looked like holding any position down. All that has happened with him is ,that it’s now clear why he was allowed to leave Germany. Would have thought the few bright 10 minutes spells were enough to warrant a run in the team? He might not be fantastic, but we've lost the last 6 and not tried to change anything.

Still using that lovely patronising tone, I see - nice chap. Maybe they aren’t good enough.. know the easiest way to find out? Play them. If they bomb the next couple of games and never appear in the first team again.. what have we lost? Mitchell looked fine in the cameo the other day, been linked with a move to Spurs after they were impressed with him at youth level. Similarly Pierrick has looked fine in cameos. Why are they on the bench if they’re so far from being good enough? They didn’t know, and presumably didn’t think, AWB was good enough, and that turned out alright didn’t it. I am actually quite a nice bloke
