It's another new starting XI 14:09 - Dec 29 with 1589 viewsGeoffSentence

30 games 30 different starting line ups

When does rotation become spinning out of control.

It’s been out of control all season. Indicative of a complete absence of a strategy. He hasn’t got a clue what our best team or formation is.

Surely you wouldn’t want to have the eleven that started against Gillingham.?

It is at least a repeated formation- anda degree of consistency in approach. Though I remain of the view that Kenlock should play and garbutt should be pushed up the flank. And that Judge is never going to be the player people think.

At least Downes is back where he belongs...

There are 28 other starting lineups to choose from.

Let´s be a bit fair here. Two or three changes per games is not that uncommon in modern football. Brighton made five changes yesterday and looked very sharp. I don´t think rotation is our main problem, I think we are lacking som quality and, at the moment, confidence. Hopefully a win today will boost our morale.

Sure, but he has gone the entire season without playing the same team twice.

It may be usual to make a few changes from game to game, but to play 30 different starting lineups in 30 games is far from usual.

As is to have only about 3 players to have played in the majority of league games.

Therte is something in that.

It's odd that he's stuck with a formation (I'm assuming it's 4-4-2 and Donacien isn't part of a back 3) and the same wide players that were so ineffective against Gillingham and has just made the three like for like swaps. That midfield looks horribly lightweight to me.

I like the look of the side. Hopefully they put in a good performance, get a result and he sticks with it for a few games.

You're still assuming that he knows what he's doing at this point rather than stumbling across something that might work ala Keane.

It was the same last season

5 changes each game could be justified as we lost the prior week/two games in a week/he needed to try players/we were preparing for next season/they were the right changes/one player was injured/delete as appropriate

Doesn't look like they're the right changes. We've been awful so far and deservedly a goal down.

That is such a crazy stat I couldn't believe it was true. A quick check suggests it is, though.

I don't think it is as bad as Keane's random selection policy but it is pretty close. He really needs to decide on a team and pretty much stick with it.

It's not just personnel though, it's formations and pattern of play. No wonder we're so rubbish at the moment - the players have no idea of what is expected of them from one game to the next.

But if it ends up working, imagine how good we will be in the Championship having so many players all knowing 15 different systems inside out …
