After sucessive 5-1 and 3-1 wins do you think Gus should pick the same team again for Sheffield Wednesday (except for injuries) or bring in the new signings?

Well it wasn't the same team for those games, but leaving that aside, apart from forced changes (Crofts may be out, El-Abd knackered), the only player I would have thought of dropping would be Dicker; however he played well in both games. Wouldn't be surprised to see Dobbie and either Hammond or Lopez in there and then there's Buckley to consider..hmmAfter sucessive 5-1 and 3-1 wins do you think Gus should pick the same team again for Sheffield Wednesday or bring in the new signings?
My team, presuming El-Abd is ok and Crofts/Vicente are injured.
---------Kuszczak----------
Bruno El-Abd Greer Bridge
---------Bridcutt ----------
-----Lopez--Hammond----
KLL------------------Barnes
-----------CMS-------------
Not sure how to fit Dobbie or Orlandi in yet
Poor will buckley, a hero last season, now forgotten!
Its a good problem to have, fwiw i would drop barnes for dobbie, barnes has done nowt wrong, but when gus has dropped him before and he's come on as a sub, he plays like a man possessed to prove a point.
I think it begs the question, how many wins becomes a "winning formula"? For me, that isn't 2 games.
We have so much talent in our squad right now, I don't think we can be stuck in any one single XI or one single formation. We can change from game to game depending on how the opponents are expected to play, and have the players to slot into whatever formation Gus wants.
