Maybe true, he wasn't very good.  But I just find it a bit odd and it's not the first player it's happened to.

me too.....but in fairness to LJ he does say he picks his bench differently to cover certain scenarios.  Assume Pereira back in is to allow Hunt to bomb for as long as he can, knowing he’s got another RWB on the bench.  Pereira can also play LB (as can Rowe).

Why do so many of our players often go from not getting in the team at all, to being thrown in at the deep end and then left completely out of the squad again after?

I’d take out Eliasson and Diedhiou and go 352. Bring both on if needed. 

Palmer behind Weimann and Wells. 

The only problem with that is Weimann and Palmer are both pants

Have to say,  that is the exact team I would have picked.  

Just not sure how we expect a team to perform well with such frequent changing of personnel and formation.  Fingers crossed. 

Think Gary Owers has got it spot on. Change the personnel but keep the formation. Wolves did it last year, and it’s working well this year too.

Reasonably happy with that side. Rowe deserves a crack in CM.

@E.G.Red Wolves can switch between a 3-4-3 and 3-5-2. Possibly even in promotiom season at times a strikerless 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2, or possibly even a 3-5-1-1.

However that basic template is key but when we had him, playing say Brownhills or Palmer as the '1' in a 3-4-1-2 would bring about significant tactical differences. Paterson possibly somewhere between the two.

Problem solved.
