One of our problems is a lack of a settled team line-up.

How many times this season have we fielded the same team for consecutive games? Any?

I honestly believe that is one of our biggest problems. How can the team get used to playing together when there are constant changes?

I know we've had more than our share of injuries and suspensions, but I really think Gus chops and changes the team far too often. I'm beginning to think he really doesn't know his preferred line-up.

Example 1: Navarro has been doing OK in central midfield. Suddenly he brings Sparrow back.
Example 2. Noone is clearly a better player than KLL, but today KLL starts and Noone is on the bench ... and then comes on for A MOM display.

very good point although part of the reason for our constant changes is our poor discipline.

I think he didn't start Noone today to give him the kick up the arse he needs, I reckon we'll see some good performances from him against Coventry and Saints.

Kick up the arse for what? Consistently being our best player?

He hasn't been quite as effective for these last few games, just my opinion.

Kick up the arse for that amazing performance against burnley?

I think our biggest problem is we don't shoot.... trying to walk the ball into the net all the time

That is indeed another of our problems,

 

[Thunder Bolt]

We didn't play the same line up every game last season either. We play according to the opposition or whoever is available.

Exactly and I think Harley and Sparrow were the main culprits when they were in good positions to shoot today. Looking for a pass, taking too long or taking too many touches. Just smash it 1st time!

And the reason for that is our poor discipline, and that rests at poyet and taricos feet
