Keeping players happy

With so many options for the front 3 how does he keep them all happy

I thought there would have been a couple of changes for tonight's game

Having five subs perhaps helps

Really? I didn’t envisage there being any changes from Saturday. Important to keep up momentum. It’s a long season in the championship. I’m sure we will see a fair bit of rotation. Without being disrespectful it’s highly likely that players like JBG will pick up knocks as the season goes by. Jay too.

Games come thick and fast at this level, Saturday/Tuesday a lot of the time.
We're going to need keen competition in all areas, and I think the players will
understand that.
Suspensions and injuries will also need to be covered.

Barnes wont start again if Jay is fit. Plus if we sign others tomorrow
Good rotation on the players alongside jay

Good bench too. Shows needed as tella and muric both went off

Great for Vincent to have all these options, and I'm sure he'll juggle them accordingly.

5 subs will be a huge benefit for us to bring quality off the bench if needed.
Lots of games in a short period, so I've no doubt we will rotate throughout the long season.
Hopefully a couple of decent cup runs will add to their chances of playing a part.

Agree

If we can come though Friday unscathed, we have a seven day gap till we play Norwich and an extra days rest than Preston before we visit Deepdale.

The squad will come into play two fold, not only covering for injuries/suspensions to the first XI but also during games when other sides' resources are stretched and they have very limited options on their bench. Hopefully this is where the summer recruitment comes to the fore.
