we'll only 'secure' a champions league place if we finish 2nd. Its likely to be a fight to the wire for 2nd with the Mancs. So i can't see us having the luxury of a few meaningless games at the en of the season. having said that, if they are ready they will play. Rafa has been generous to the youngsters....Potter, Whitbread had chances. i just don't think its the right time for them yet.
