I think too many changes.
 
He said he would, and they all look sensible - still have the bench if it isn't working.
From the tv viewing of wolves game, dear old lloyd looked off the standard, I would have preferred Toszer to Munari, Ighalo looked very sharp.
If we draw or win, that's 10/12 points from 5 - promotion form!
Just need to keep doing it!

I think Toszer needed a rest and I rate Munari based on last few games. Sounds a lot of changes but can't critique until we've 'seen' it in action I suppose.
