How is the team meant to play consistently, when we hardly ever have a consistent starting XI?
Every team selection is straight out of the Ian Holloway tombola. The manager certainly doesn’t know his best starting lineup. IMO, he needs to pick a team, and try to stick to it for a few games with maybe 1 change max.
As I said in a previous thread from Saturday, the spine of the team is constantly changed game by game.
I’m losing patience with him. |  | | |  |

Just do what worked for professional football teams before all this resting nonsense happened. Tell the squad your 11 preferred players and tell the others they have to earn the shirt of the player who's currently wearing it. All this chopping and changing is killing us. |  | | |

We seemed to quite well when he picked the same team 3 (?) games in a row. | | | |

Indeed
Having a nearly fully fit squad but making five chanages every game isn't working.
On paper it seems we have a lot more strength in depth but with no one is getting a fair run in the team, understanding between players is missing.
And in fact contrary to this point, the two players that are consistently picked, Dunne and Nardi are the ones that need replacing but there are no alternative options in their positions.
And changing teams always in a three game week. Sod that nonsense. Professional footballers in 2025, should be able to perform in such circumstances and recover in time to play all three always. [Post edited 6 Nov 0:17]

I assume he is rotating players to rest them during three-game weeks. That's going well then... | | | |

Bollocks to that resting player b/shit.
If you have a winning formula leave the bastard thing alone. |  |

Agreed.... resting players is a mentally regressive thought which infects the team.
Players should be hungry and want to play week in week out... they should want to break a leg for the team.
Now they just want Jacuzzis and back rubs.
You can't make it up. |  | | |

It’s interesting that certain players are never rotated: Madsen, Nardi (no one else to play), Dunne (he’s the captain, but having a really poor season) and Burrell (been superb).
My worry with Dunne signing his contract is that his form would go to pot which happens when they get the security for the duration of their contract.
Our defence needs to build cohesion. The year we went up we had Walker / Orr, Gorkks, Connnolly and Hill with Kenny in nets. They played every week and built a platform for the forward players to perform. Our side changes hugely every game. I assume it’s because of the Dubai bloke and the game model. You can predict that on 60 mins every game all the subs start. | | | |

The three game week psychosis, jeez.
Just pick your best teams for games 1 and 2 (especially if they're at home) and go out to win them. Worry about game 3 when you get there!! |  |
