Where is the experimentation in struggling to hang onto a result with a
virtually full strength side, he has already done that this season in
all the games we haven't lost or played our reserves.>

I hope that playing Lucas & Poulsen in the middle is an experiment and not what we'll be seeing in November when Woy's "let's see how we are doing after ten games" has been and gone!
How many games does Woy try that partnership before deciding it is not a good combo? Not too many more I hope!
