Walton, Davis, O'Shea and Matusiwa - we play every game. Taylor - I've been playing my a$$ off then I'm hooked at half time. Greaves, I'm in, we keep a clean sheet, I'm out. Nunez, I score, start to influence games then I'm on the bench. Philogene in, Philogene bench, Clarkecin, Clarke bench. Never mind how I play, I'll be out and then back in so performance is largely irrelevant (maybe even how well I train too?). Azon - I get a start here or there but I'm never going to get a run. Hirst, my poor form doesn't matter as the manager trusts me and there's nobody to push me. Humphreys - will I ever get a chance? McAteer - jeez I've been poor but I keep getting starts every couple of games. Akpom - I've produced virtually nothing but with the manager's rotation I'll get a game soon enough. Young, I can't believe I've got another decent payday and I'm not even playing that much. Harry Clarke, does the manager know I'm still here?
So what is my motivation? |  |

I have no doubt that the level of alternation causes issues. Players may be professional and keep it to themselves. But hard to get absolute confidence, buy in and comittment when you constantly feel hard done by. |  | | |

We’re so busy “managing the block of games” that we forget to focus on the game we’re playing. |  |

I hear ya, and its easy to see it that way.
Bt we don't hear what McKenna says to the players and Im pretty certain he's talking them through things, reassuring them and it isn't like it might appear.
That said, I'm all for minimal changes wherever possible. I really don't think they need 5 or 6 changes every game. The best teams just don't do that. |  |

My motivation is my promotion bonus and the possibility I might be a member of a Premier League squad and, if I am not, I will get a good contract at a top Championship club.
As supposed to I sit around in a mid-table Championship side taking my wage and can't get as good a contract next time mine is up for renewal.
It is a squad game and has been ever since McKenna came in. It worked twice before. |  |

Clarke is injured isn't he? I am surprised Young hasn't played more but he has done well whenever he has played hasn't he? McAteer and Akpom put the effort in, just hasn't really worked for them.
I agree about Humphreys and am disappointed that he hasn't played more.
I am sure we will be looking to get someone to push Hirst (or play ahead of him) but we have been looking to fill that position (fairly unsuccessfully) ever since McKenna came. (And still got promoted twice without properly doing so.) | |

Right, we will be the most well rested mid table side in championship history at this rate lol |  |

I have got no problem with him making changes at HT in a game were we were performing terribly though, I was actually encouraged he done that, as it's very unusual to try something different that early for KM.
He's done pretty well but Taylor's performances have been slightly overrated by some I think. | |

I think that has changed to we all question the process |  | | |

To add to the OP, IF we get promoted I get sold so that's another de-motivator.
This along with other things definitely a factor in our poor season so far. | |

The players probably understand that there is no 'out' or 'dropped' - there are simply starters and finishers and they're equally important. As is rest in an extraordinarily busy block of games.
I agree there are too many changes, especially in defence which I'd like to see more settled, but I understand why it's done for the further forward players. And McKenna's always done this, so I'm not sure why people are surprised by it now.
I don't think motivation's a problem, but I do think the gelling of the team is taking longer because of all the chopping and changing. |  |
