Great post, but McInnes has NEVER mastered the art of squad rotation. He usually, finally, discovers his preferred formation and personnel around about Oct/Nov then proceeds to flog the same 11 into the ground for the rest of the season.

I’ve never understood why fans would not want to utilise squad rotation, no brainier in my book.

It’s clear that playing in Europe is having a negative impact at the weekend, players are clearly drained. Is that a fitness issue? Doesn’t Derek trust his own squad? Is that down to poor recruitment? Why didn’t Wilson and Devlin start today?

Fair scunnered with that p1sh today
