Interesting. Both goalscorers plus Hirst who people thought played well have all been dropped.
I still don't know how Hirst missed the Header in the second halve, but I think he is to improving.
Interesting line up....Harness at wing back.
romeo and curtis were looking really good together. So the immediate response is to separate them on the pitch then drop one of them. What was that old saying about not changing a winning team?
is NC turning into one of those managers who constantly fiddles with the team?
Oh dear. Tunnicliffe ball watching
2-0 down now. Team selection totally inexplicable. How does Walker start ahead of Hirst or O'Brien?

Got to justify the £10k/week spent on him by starting him I guess.
As I said, he seems to be constantly fiddling with the team. If a player does well he seems the most likely to be dropped. I suspect he looks at the ipad and some stat shows O'Brien (for instance) is tired, so he drops them. Switching between back 5 and back 4, even when Tuesday we were dire with a back 4.
Cos we're paying a lot of money for him.
Eisners don’t want promotion probably told DC not to win to many matches. Same as when Jacket dropped half our team after Xmas when we were top.
Hackett, totally pathetic challenge. 0-3

Well, it would have been exciting had it not been for the fact that we were fighting for 1 point instead of 3.
Glad the team has a bit of fight but that first half was just pathetic.
Difficult to know where to start, or finish. Ultimately, Cowley's appalling team selection was the biggest problem. He's got to go.

I hope to God he's not on £10k a week, surely not????

why so many young players don't make it. They are rich before they are any good and have no great incentive to improve.
