Don’t think Nuno will, it gives the wrong message to the squad.
Domingues will take Yates place in the squad.
Rest should be the same

We need to get our priorities right.

For me Abbott should not be on the bench.

All focus needs to be on trying to get the 3 points with the best and strongest squad available.

Danilo and Sangare can't be far off now

We have the squad to manage these things and focus on momentum.

Abbott can have a place in the squad against Luton then a loan move I reckon.

The Abbott thing is purely to keep that 100 year old record going.

All records come to an end.

If I had to choose between our 100 year record coming to an end or our 4 game winning run coming to an end then I would choose the 100 year thing.

No time for sentiment.

We should choose our strongest squad for the match.

I'm beginning to imagine what an Anderson & Danilo pairing would look like.
Both progressive, both strong in the tackle, both full of energy, both get up and down and between them, a left & right foot.

Yeah obviously I'd rather we win but chances are Toffolo is not going to impact the game. 

Understand if we do let it go though.

Good point Wassy.

The truth is that we don't know what could happen.

We could lose both full backs after 10 minutes.

Unlikely I know but we shouldn't risk it.

We are not a charity. We are in the results business.

I will be angry and pissed off if Abbott is on the bench just because Yates is suspended.

Really? Will 9 subs? 
I wouldn’t underestimate how important that stat is to the demonstration of a pathway to the first team for young players- both within the academy and for young transfers. 
I would be angry and pissed off if Abbott WASN’T on the bench- as much as anything as it is probably on merit!
