That said, it's still a concern that so many young players are picking up long term injuries and spending so long in the treatment room. We can't afford to carry them. | | | |

Derby is a more difficult fixture and is 4 days away with no travelling in between | |

Totally different games we would have been defensive at wolves whereas we presumably tried to attack qpr leaving more room for them offensively | |

Can our best footballers actually play at maximum intensity every game without injury or burning themselves out? Those running the team obviously think not, same with their counterparts at other clubs. From what I've heard former and current players say, the intensity is not the same as it was 40 years ago, when squads were small and subs seldom or never used. | |

Even a point at wolves and a point today is inferior to a 0-3 at wolves and win today. | |

Yes, we could. Not so much the possibility of a foul on Kenlock in the build-up (debateable), but there were other opportunities to clear that attack before the shot went in. And our set pieces could have yeilded something - not to mention the Wolves back pass near disaster. | |

Surprised at mccathys team selections on 17:33 - Dec 26 with 3222 views | pointofblue | Instead he made the changes for the QPR match. We had no midfield today and no options to change it around once Bishop went off... though if he doesn't trust McDonnell to do a job why recall him? I presume Bru had a knock? | |

Maybe but it would be hard to pick 2 more suitable fixtures within 3 days for prioritising. I'm just surprised as he has done this before i think he got fined for doing it in the premier league once. | |

Surprised at mccathys team selections on 17:37 - Dec 26 with 3189 views | Herbivore | I don't know why people are making a fuss about making changes over the busy festive period. All sides rotate their squad during busy periods and we've been massively stretched because of injuries this season which adds pressure to those who have had to play more than they might otherwise have done. | |

He did; he picked a weakened side at Old Trafford as they were home to Burnley a few days later. They lost against Manchester United but won the match at Molineux. | |

McCarthy perhaps did not want to capitulate (Cardiff game-style) against his former club. | |

I dont think you have understood my point. I'm saying we should have made the changes at wolves. Sears could have done his running up blind alleys there where a defeat was expected and we could then have celina firing fresh against qpr | |

I think points are more important than personal pride and i dont believe that as he has done it before to decent effect iirc | |

If you've got 3 games in 7 days it makes no sense to rest players for the first of those games, the middle game is the one where you need to make use of your squad. | |

You’re just specifying an amount of games to fit an argument. We have 4 games in 10 days so we potentially need to rotate twice. There is a bigger gap to the next one and no travelling | |

Your last sentence simply backs up why we needed to rest players today, coming off a tough away game just 3 days ago. | |
