Geoff Sentence has posted it a lot on here but I couldn't fully believe it so i have just copied and pasted and sorted the line ups. He is spot on, we have had a different line up in all 31 games this season. We aren't talking different to the game before we are talking a line up that has never been used before at any stage of the season. This is absolutely staggering! Surely a club needs a strongest 11 that gets tinkered with slightly due to form and fitness. The most frustrating part is this is off the back of a free hit for 6 months last season where we had time to prepare.
I honestly don't think this would have ever been done before in football |  |

It's utter madness. I don't know how anyone still holds on to the idea that he's competent. |  |

It is hard to believe isn't it.
Rotation is one thing, but this level of change can't be helpful.
I note that some of the players are starting to speak out against it now, there was Nolan the other day and now Chambers in his interview "Would a more settled side help? “Yes, absolutely, why not? " |  |

It's not just line ups, it's formations and tactics. |  |

Aye, constant changes of formations would probably be difficult even with a settled team. in my opinion tinkering so wildly with both is why we are struggling a bit at the moment. | |

I agree, although the players who are persistently left out probably won't. I think a preferred system & pattern of play is almost more important - almost every other professional club seems to have one. Yes, you may need to change it at half time or before if it's not working, but the constant changes in personnel & formation must be as baffling to the players as they are to me. |  |

There is no doubt in my mind about that. It is utterly bonkers | |

As I pointed out the other day- there are only a few players who have started most league matches. The rest are at single figures, or early teens. From 22 games, Skuse is at 20, Jackson at 19. Norwood Woolf, Downes and Chambers are at 17/18- so have missed almost a quarter of games. The rest are at low teens or single figures.
It is no surprise that teams with a good pattern, established roles and undertstandings, and general cohesion and match sharpness, beat us. |  |

I just wonder what they do in training? How do they train when we have no idea of the shape. | |

I understand why Lambert rotates, it's very much how higher level clubs do it and perhaps it's better suited when you have more talented personel
Mick McCarthy was of course the polar opposite but I always felt by February we were burnt out and tended to finish the season poorly as a result
Whether we see the benefits of rotation later in the season remains to be seen
He has certainly got himself in a pickle both with the defence and the midfield in particular and it has effected both our defensive abilities and play imho
I'm not sure we ever had a convincing pattern of play even when we were winning games. Perhaps teams have worked us out a bit also but we all know KVY was pivotal on our upsurge in form earlier in the season
We have lacked a plan B ever since he got injured, I still think we miss something up top and wing options seem to have got worse as the season has progressed
I think Norwood and Jackson's early promise has tailed off a bit and we lack a targetman particularly against the more physical sides in this league
I know Will Keane isn't an out and out targetman but he is the closest thing we have got at the moment
with Sears coming back, we have an extra runner with some pace who may help to unlock more from Jackson, Norwood and Keane potentially
How long is Danny Rowe out? I thought just as he was starting to develop into our side he then got that injury
Compared to both Judge and Edwards, he seems our best option on the wing when fit |  |

You first two points got my attention. The comparison with MM is really interesting because he got a lot of stick for having favourites who were undroppable. That is an accusation that certainly can't be levelled at PL who changes personnel every game. It seems to me that PL has gone too far in the direction of changing the team. Certainly a bit of rotation, within a settled pattern of play, can be a good thing but he just seems to do so much that no-one knows who they are are playing with or what system is being played. | |
