Yet again wasnt sure about our line up , but the manager has got the big calls right again , even down to the signing of Barney Stewart, maybe this guy knows what hes doing, very impressive , what a change in fortunes and attacking play 👏

There`s been a few games this season where he`s got the team selection or set up wrong, but he generally holds his hands up and admits when he`s made a mistake, which is pretty refreshing.

He doesn`t throw the players under the bus, but he will be objectively critical of them in his analysis, which is also refreshing.

It seems like he`s getting a handle on his best starting 11 (15?). If we get a period of stable selections we could go on a decent run.

I’m pretty sure Lennon picks the team according to the opposition. And what players are fit and trained well. I’d be surprised to see the same starting eleven two games running.

As NL has said its a squad game. He seems to rotate players dependent of the opposition, and niggles that if players played week in week out could lead to longer term injuries. He keeps everyone on board and leaves the door open for fringe players to get game time. You need to keep the squad match fit and sharp so 20-25 minutes game time also keeps players ticking over. We have a good squad with depth so doubt a regular starting 11 will happen.

The key to being able to change the starting line up week in, week out, is knowing that every man knows his job and fully understands where he’s playing and who he’s playing with. I think that’s maybe why Amade and Caceres are not currently in the starting line up. They are clearly very talented players but may not quite understand what the manager wants yet. If and when they fit the team plan, we will have a very formidable side.

Im not sure if we have a best starting 11 as such. I think he’s got a few different ways of playing and is picking players to suit tactics/opposition.
