Mistakes are creeping back in as players are looking shot out on the pitch after 60 mins as the same ones are play 90 mins with no subs 2 and 3 times a week and when subs are brought on they don’t have the partnerships or match time to get into the groove to make an impact. This is a season like no other so we have to treat it like that and sometimes for the sake of the team you can’t play your strongest team.
Rooney made 6 changes to their side against Cardiff on Tuesday to rest his players. That went well....
No mid week game for us next week when lots of other teams have one. A little rest for the players there then.
yes, takes a very exceptional manager, training drills and preparation to deploy 16 players over the 95 minutes
and similar to the above and our substitutions and changes against Luton they can be a catalyst towards catastrophy
my suggestion is play players who need to rebed into the side, mainly blockers and defensive players, players like Sow, Yates, Colback, Arter were automatic selections at various stages, have Mighten, Freeman and Sammy Ammy even to just try and work to a basic ball down the sides or over the top strategy
from HT on bring on Krov, Cafu, Knocky, Lolley and Garner or whoever we know what these guys can do and would thrive fresh and later in the game, also 3 are loans
So you get existing ex auto picks performing to their strengths, and an alamo philosophy would suit many of those and we have enough to get something out of the game and get some points
the next fixtures are all hard fixtures so going for the brick walls makes sense as well, ok it was tried, trusted and eventually failed but i think collectively we have a stronger squad now and need to explore every possible way towards getting points, developing the squad and preparing for next season
