When was the last time Wilder names an unchanged side and how many ones has he done it this season?

Last season we had a good first team but little ability to rotate, Wilders transfer magic has seen a strong first XI transform in to a strong squad with flexibility in every position. Quite something given his budget.

Also goes against the argument that you need a settled side to achieve the best results, you don’t, you just need Wilder as your manager

I would probably say my last recollection of an unchanged squad wasn’t over the Christmas period up to Wigan away, although Basham was suspended.

Can’t recall the games prior to Norwich away, but it is from here that I would say the team has changed every week and it has worked incredibly well.

Being able to rotate has been a big difference maker. I posted about how important it was for Wilder to use the January signings optimally, and he's done it perfectly, getting them in from the start and not rigidly sticking with a winning team. He didn't wait for the existing players to start underperforming. Madine and Dowell have featured heavily, and even Hogan's played more than I expected.

Then there's.....

Strength in depth and experience was a key factor in our 2005-06 promotion.

Wilder has judged it to perfection, just like Warnock did all those years ago.

McGoldrick is the new Shipperley
Madine is the new Akinbiyi
Hogan is the new Dyer
Norwood is the new Gillespie
Cranie is the new Short
Stearman is the new Lucketti

Thought this'd be another Madine thread.

Im sure at some point earlier in the season we named the same starting 11 for about 6 or 7 games straight? Run up to Christmas? OP’s right though; you only have to look at the quality sat on the bench every week to see that with his budget and trading, Wilder (and Mitchell) has absolutely smashed recruitment this season; he’s upped us at least a notch, from upper mid-table to play offs at very worst.

You’re being kind to Warnock by leaving out the horse. He overdid it a bit in January whereas Wilder has just about managed to rotate and rest without disrupting results.

You could say I was being kind to Wilder for leaving out Woody.
