I dare say it's easier to have a settled side if they're winning regularly.

I sometimes wonder if Bulut's chopping and changing hasn't helped with our form?

Different game now Eric. Squads are probably bigger and you can use 5 subs these days so less likely to go with the same starting 11 every game.

Yes, I know that.

I sometimes wonder about forming partnerships etc in a team. Would, say Bothroyd and Chopra have been so prolific if both were rested every other game and didn't play together as much? It's not just there, either, but all over the field. Players learn each others games. Chopping and changing doesn't help develop those relationships. Obviously, if you're winning, why make changes, but when a team struggles, the tendency is to keep changing and looking for answers.
