Total vindication of DCs "tinker man" status.
I have always advocated squad rotation and I belive "play your best 11 every week" is bollocks.
Ollie Clarke - goal Montano - goal
Leads - good game Easter -goal
We are finishing games off in the second half for a reason.
Where are the injuries?
DC is a modern manager for a modern game.
That is all

DC is with the squad for hours every day of every week.
I trust him when he changes the team, rather than agree with some forum user who see's the team for 90minutes on a game day.
Those who said DC had reached his level last week, everyone else is laughing at you x

That is all I agree good teams this day and age don't just have on good starting 11, but a few. We can have a number of injuries and still have a quality team on the pitch. DC is never gonna get all his calls right but he doesn't need to. Get it right 80% of the time and that gets us playoffs.

I'm an advocate of progress through stability, I'm thankful he got us promoted, as far I'm concerned he just needed to get us re established in the league this year.

So i like to be even quicker on praising him for shutting the doubters up. What more does the bloke have to do to prove himself to some?!

Frustrating for those of us who have a bit of perspective.
I'm sure it's the same people in the crowd who start shouting 'attack' if it's 0-0 after 10 minutes and then grumble that we aren't 3-0 up already. Even worse if we do take the lead and they then loudly proclaim 'that's what I was saying we should be doing from the start' as if their 'attack' comment was valid and he/she is proved right.
Rant over

As far as I'm concerned he's the best manager we've had this millennium whatever happens in the rest of this season....

Total vindication of DCs "tinker man" status. I have an issue with both the terms 'rotation' and 'tinkering'. Because in general DC will pick a team to beat a certain opposition. This is neither tinkering or rotating, it's simply selecting the best starting XI in the best possible formation with options to change both personnel and formation with options on the bench.

Please explain why else you would change a team of it wasn't to pick the best line up to win? I don't think a single manager would make wholesale changes for no reason. So, the argument then falls back in on itself. Tinkering and rotation are synonymous with picking the best team, unless I am mistaken?

To be honest I think DC has stopped tinkering, however, Bodin's illness, and the lack of a another right winger, forced his hand last night.
What's clear is whatever team he puts out will give there all, which probably has been the case since the PT/LL era.
Apart from one poster, who's surely a WUM anyway, fans are mainly supportive of DC.

DC on averages changes 2 players per game but last night 2 changes were enforced as Bodin and Lawrence were broke.
I was surprised Montano didn't get more game time given his superb performance at NC, maybe he was feeling leggy as he hasn't had much game time lately.

While we are appraising our manager , isn't it about time he won a proper promotion rather than his 3 lucky play-off victories to date?

So, the argument then falls back in on itself. Tinkering and rotation are synonymous with picking the best team, unless I am mistaken? My issue isn't so much with the actual language but what that language has come to mean in the world of football. Rotating is seen by most fans as bad as it normally involves resting players who (if they were playing) would improve the team. Tinkering has become a negative phrase because (again at the top level) it has become associated with not necessarily picking your best starting XI. We can agree to disagree I guess...
