so ifil had a bad game, we all know he cant kick a ball straight (I'm not trying to defend him, he is crap) but i'm surprised no one has picked up on the shit substitutions onuora made during the second half.
for the 10 minutes or so after we scored we started getting the ball wide to brown & smith and getting crosses in & winning corners. cureton hit the bar after some good work on the left. whalley & diagouraga also started looking for the ball more & were creating chances, playing through balls etc.
so no we've found the width & are starting to play well & actually looking a threat, why the fuck do you take whalley off & stick 3 up front?!?!?! it meant the 2 wide players had to tuck in more & we went back to hoofing it long again, when its fucking obvious that it hadn't worked all game before that. nelson was winning everything in the air for them so we just give it too him on a plate.
and then after he took ifil off he put jack smith, one of the smallest on the pitch, at centre back! he was doing well on the right in the 20 mins prior to that. surely you put CCP at the back & shakes through the middle?
CCP's not a fucking midfielder! every time he had the ball in the last third of the pitch he looked clueless.
i accept iffy had to gamble to try & win the game, but it was a bad call with the subs made in my opinion. its easy to blame the players but the managers got to take some of the shit for it as well.
