@leslad I agree with the principle, of not changing unless needed. But at the moment, it's clearly needed, because our 'first choice' players aren't playing well.
If players aren't fit enough to play then they can't play, I understand that. I understand it's best not to risk injury.
To be honest it's not a major criticism, I like Silva and think we've played well. And I think we've been unfortunate with near misses, individual errors and a tighter schedule than most teams and these factors make it difficult.
But even so we have gone from a good position: knowing our best side with players on the bench to throw into the mix when required, to now where cohesion is lacking, and Silva imo has to be partly responsible. Regardless, he certainly has the task of fixing it now and I hope he can do it with a lighter schedule this month. Would like to see us stick with the same XI for FA cup and the league games if possible
