Why the changes? 16:50 - Feb 26 with 827 viewsbluebudgie

OK, I'm going to throw it out here, why the changes from a team that won 3-0 on Tuesday and most people could see Thompson was very tired on Tuesday so why pick him today, I'm ready for the downvotes but I McKenna still obviously has a lot to learn.

Psssst! We drew 0-0 on Tuesday.

I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

Agreed. He keeps a settled back eight, injuries aside, so why does he keep mucking around with the front three?

Probably because he hasn't found a combination he feels is really working and that has been his way to keep the players happy. You can't complain about being left out in a defence that is keeping a record time for a clean sheet. You might have more grounds to complain if the striker ahead of you isn't scoring.

Ultimately McKenna has done an awful lot right since he came in. He isn't going to get everything right but he is giving us hope for the future right now.

1) They aren't doing well enough as a whole, 6 goals in 7 games is poor
2) If you just stick with your best set (for example the Burton game), you'll run them into the ground quickly.

Ridiculous that he has Celina sitting on the bench. He’s changed us completely today (again). I thought KVY did enough to start at LWB today too.

That’s 4 points lost in a week, which could well have killed off our chances. Maybe not, we’ll have to see and now need to pick up maximum points from more difficult games.

Not forgetting he's got a mix of players out of contract and some on 3 year deals. Whilst we're aiming for playoffs as unlikely as they may be now, but you never know... Hes got some big decisions to make and the only way to make them is by seeing the players in games.

He's messing with top3 because they are not scoring. A bit disappointed he took Aloco off unless he was knackered/injured thought him and Celina may have opened them up.

Have Aluko and Celina started together yet? I think those two with Jackson infront of them would be quite good

He did, but we should have been 3 up already. He gave some impetus, but we created plenty before he came on as well. We just didn't finish enough of the huge array of chances that were put on a plate.

Agreed ... too much rotation of our attacking options ... decide on your best three and give them a run of games to find rhythm and confidence.

Endless tinkering is not working ...

Jackson scored one and made two against Burton, was given a start against Cheltenham and then dropped. Hardly given a chance.

Your second point is very valid too. We have been doing a lot work with a high press and keeping fresh legs involved has probably enabled that more.

There are 2 more weeks with midweek matches and otherwise just weekly matches from here to the end of the season. Will be interesting to see if there is less rotation in those weeks, although injuries may still prevent unchanged sides anyway.

Why the missed chances? Not like he got anything tactically wrong.

We would be sitting pretty with those 4 points.....I'm off for a little cry!

Although it was working until the last two matches.
