Always a set team. Did us no harm earlier in the season.

No need to fix something if it isn't broken.

Personally I would try to keep the back line as settled as possible while rotating/resting out at least two of the other six each time given the continuous run of midweek games.

Keeping the whole squad match fit is important with so many games coming up in a short time so rotation not a bad thing given there are virtually no reserve games, as long as its done in a way that doesn't mess with the teams form. Which they are yet to
rediscover

I would go for a set team but use the 5 subs. I think a settled 11 for the first 60 odd minutes would be best then start rotating. I know that's not ideal and sometimes won't be the preferred option depending on how the game is going but with the games coming up thick and fast we can't expect players doing a full 90 twice a week every week for too long.

why not that’s what they’re paid and trained to do.

I'm sure every player would gladly play a full 90 every game but I don't think it would be very long before fatigue and injuries kicks in, regardless of how fit they are and how much they want to play
