    After taking a very good point and a top display at Norwich.P.H then made 5 changes for the Cardiff City game.I sort of understood why but looking back should he have kept the confidence up by playing the same 11 who were on a very good run at the time.Thoughts please.

    We look a different team since the last international break , struggling to create and score , and always look like conceding . Think he picked a team for Cardiff with one eye on Leeds game and it’s backfired on us

    Couldn't - Williams was suspended and Angus injured.

    I thought the changes he made were to combat Cardiffs big aggressive style.Either way it backfired.When a teams in form let them continue to build up steam and keep the run going.

    Except when you absolutely totally 100% can't 'cos the best player/only combative midfield player is suspended and the captain injured!!!

    I understand that but why make 5 changes when we only had to change 2.

    Because those two being unavailable weakened the core of the side so he had to strengthen other areas to compensate? Because the forced changes led to a forced change in mindset/tactics?

    Too many black and white opinions on here. If it was as simple as some make out we’d all be football managers.

    Agree, plus I think he's forgotten that the eleven that actually went one down and lost the game was exactly that which played (well but toothlessly) at Norwich, except for Williams and McDonald - the eleven that started, with the five changes in it, looked odds on for what would have been a dull but welcome cast-iron nil-nil!

    He makes too many changes every game, so I doubt that alone was in his thinking.
