I wonder if it's a failure to adapt to 5 subs?
Derek definitely seems to have an "if it ain't broke" attitude to starting lineups and to subs, we've hardly seen the starting lineup change throughout a busy period. Even if you don't make subs tactically though, I think with 2 matches a week you've got to make the most of subs to keep players fresh. I'm not surprised we've had a few injuries, it seems the only way players get a rest!
It's not as if we've got rubbish on the bench either, we're bringing on players who are more than capable.
