Yes, fair point

I can understand that and would rather have seen a full strength side. I suppose he was giving Jarvis and Spillane a chance to see if they're good enough.

If he had not done so and then they were farmed out on loan or something then everyone would have been criticising GR for their lack of opportunities (well, maybe not with Jarvis...).

Also, until we get some more players in then we have a tiny squad, and we ARE still only four points off the drop zone so it makes sense to use the whole squad. Jarvis and Spillane will claim they are good enough to play league games, so why shouldn't GR
use the squad?
