consistency, disruption

from archant - "...Worthington likely to name an unchanged 16 for the fourth game in succession."

At no point did this happen last season - the toll of injuries, suspensions and changes (to try and change results) meant that only once did the same 16 lined-up 3 games on the trot, and only four times the squad was unchanged for 2 games in succession.

Whisper it quietly, but this kind of stability was what the success of 03-04 was built upon (twice that season same 16 was used for six games running).
