Like it or not we're just the same as any other Championship side and we'll make changes for cup games against equal or lower level teams.

You're also doing that thing again where you just assume that players are at full fitness all the time, but managing us at the minute is as much about managing our player's health with the whole season in mind as it is about picking our 'best' team.

A good example being Forsyth who was excellent at LB against Stoke, but he's had 3 ACL injuries so probably can't be used in that more physically position twice in a week.

Marriott started (didn't complete) 2 games in a row but that effort put him out for the next couple of games.

Martin continues to battle a debilitating disease, I'm surprised to see him start, but subbing him off after an hour the other day has enabled his selection. There are more complex issues at play than some are willing to credit 

There are plenty of reasons to change the lineup, but the Cocu out brigade just write it off as tinkering, then use performances in matches where it's come together with everyone available and in their best position against him and claim any good performances are in spite of him.

Max Bird's recent performances will be used as a point to say he should have been in the team from the off rather than used as a good example of the manager using him well and bringing him into the team more slowly.

It's a bit pathetic tbh and the opposite of my idea of support.

Great post ?

Damn I’m having to listen to radio Derby. Duck uni in Leeds on a football day.

Btw my record when listening to radio Derby to Atrocious. Pretty much consistent 3-0 losses so sorry to everyone in advance 

Used to live on moorland road not far from the back of Leeds uni. For an entire season I was able to receive radio Derby on my clock radio as long as the radio was on the top of my guitar amp and I held my left leg against the side of the radio. That season I put far more effort in than most of the players. This was obviously pre-internet! Happy days.
