Why change a winning team .........

[Draytonian III]

.... ??? Players can't be that tired

[Copps is Magic]

We played a containment game at Bristol, we didn't have many chances but limited them. The line-up today looks a slightly more attacking one, which you might expect.

I would have Houghton as one of the 1st names on the team sheet though.

[IDM]

DF did say he would be managing the players over these few games..

Strong 11 and strong bench today..

[dknward2]

Think keeping full fitness ready for the next few games was pointless playing copps on that pitch at Bristol. Beast has played a few games in a row so may need resting Jordan still recovering

[Donnybax]

Because you should play the team that you think is going to win. I really don’t get this don’t change a winning team fascination some people seem to have.

[dickos1]

4 games in 8 days, the squad obviously needs to be rotated

[Draytonian III]

It's not the only time we have played 4 games in 8 days

[dickos1]

Never said it was, but I bet we rotated the squad then aswel

[Alan Southstand]

That midfield looks very weak to me.

[dickos1]

Were 2-0 up

[Heffs right foot]

Three nil now.

[Alan Southstand]

Looks like we're both wide of the mark, DVR!

It does Alan, happy to be wrong but if it’s changed on Friday and we lose I wonder if it will be pointed out.

Show's what you know!!!

If it stay the same and we lose will that be pointed out?

After first saying we didn't expend too much energy today due to excellent game management Fergie said he has to look at the line-up for Friday.

Coppinger didn't even play at Bristol.

And we won 3-0 today so well done Fergie!

[dknward2]

Sorry not using proper grammar hasn't helped me there

I meant it was pointless playing copps at Bristol due to the pitch

It worked perfectly only player who didn't have a great game was Dave so should now be due a great game

The “don’t change a winning team” idea is about 20 years out of date.

I will but then I feel I’m less inclined to be an ar** than you

Depends whether it’s change for changings sake.

[DonnyOsmond]

You play the best system that will have the best chance against your opposition and the players that you expect to do best in those roles. If that's different to the previous game then so be it. Just because you win one game you don't stubbornly stick by it.

Especially when were playing numerous games in quick succession, we obviously need to rotate.

Managers never make "change for changings sake", certainly not in the league at this stage of the season. They change a winning team to give the best chance of winning the next game.

Really? Managers are no different than anyone else they do what’s fashionable just like 442 fell out of favour.

[dickos1]

Can't believe this is still being discussed we won 3-0 so there's your answer.
It was the right thing to do

My mistake ,I'm new to football

[Dutch Uncle]

My mistake ,I'm new to football

Surely a Rovers win coupled with a mighty Glens last minute winner against the Blue S**te must be your best day in a while D3 

[Geoff Blakesley]

These games over Xmas show to me how good Reggie is as a manager. He has got the team, rotation and tactics spot on and the team clearly are buying into it.

[steve@dcfd]

Didn’t go today family commitments but today Baudry played the right side of a Two his best position in my opinion how did he play.

[selby]

  Very well.
