worthy's sub decisions.

Recommended Posts

I bet Worthy took Hughes off because he thought he might get sent off as he is on a yellow! If the Ref is playing it strong then we should be looking to play proper football.

it looks like worthy took off hughes to accomodate  McVeigh on

left - pushing brennan into midfield. shouldn''t worthy have replaced

huckerby with McVeigh in the firwst place though? Unless Hughes was

having a poor game, but it didn''t sound like he was.

Why not make a mountain out of a molehill,lads ?

Brennan on for Hucks just before half-time because he''s left footed.Cant see a problem there.

Mcveigh on for Hughes to give us some much needed creativity.

Whats the problem ?

And by the way , Fleming - terrific goal saving clearance last week and a goal this afternoon - good job Worthy doesn''t listen to everything the moaners say...

Cos if robinson hadn''t played a blinder for 90mins maverick, we could

have been exposed in centre midfield  and a better team than

coventry would have gone on to beat us. If hughes playing poorly, then

sure sub him, but if not then playing brennan centre midfield could

have been a gamble that backfired. I''m pleased it didn''t.

Apparently, Hughes had a hamstring tighten up; Worthington gave him 5 minutes after the break to see if he could tear it and put him out for several weeks!

You seem to miss the point mav. I think what you are missing is why bring Brennan on in the first place. I''d much rather have Hughes on than Brennan, and at the end of the day he is the captain. McVeigh could have been a straight swop with Huckerby.

The only reason I can think of is that maybe Worthy was planning for when Hughes is banned next match

I disagree again , Rossi , old bean.

As I said in my original post , Brennan is a left footer and the natural replacement for Hucks on the wide left.(Regardless of the fact that he is garbage).

Mcveigh (even though he has been employed as left sided midfield in the past) is naturally right footed.

I thought everyone had had enough of playing players out of position ?

oh dear mav, i dont think we are going to agree on this one - you appear to be in a flat spin heading out to sea.

It may not matter to you that Brennan is garbage, but it does me. I prefer to look at the angle that associates itself with where players play best, not what foot they kick with. The arrival of Huckerby saw McVeigh slowly slide from week in week out football to a game every few weeks. McVeigh has always played better on the left than the right. Huckerby too is a right footer - should he be played on the right ? You say that you thought everyone had had enough of playing people out of position. That is exactly why this post was originated - it doesn''t make sense to bring on Brennan to play him wide left for a few minutes, then bring WLY on, take Hughes off and put Brennan in the centre.

Brennan for Hucks rather than bringing on WLY makes some sense cos

Hucks has just been taken off from a bad tackle and WLYis the lightest

smallest bloke on the pitch, if that guys smashed into WLY in the same

way he did Hucks then WLY would have been a strecher job.

Worthy made some god subs this time, I''m not convinced by the Hughes

hamstring thing, from what the radio said Hughes obviously thought he

was okay to stay on and didn''t signal to come off. A very brave

decision by Worthy to pull the captian for the creative WLY.

If Hucks can''t recover in 3 days from a match, which I can understand

cos I know I''m knackered for a day or two after I play and I don''t get

the lumps he does. Then we should look at playing him for only 60mins

or so but getting him really worked up for those 60mins.

1st half,

Hughes, Safri, Robinson, Hux

2nd half

Hughes, Etuhu, Robinson, WLY

get Saffs and Hux fired up for 45-60mins and replace them with Ettie

and WLY and our midfield should then be shored up quite abit,

More contraversally I''d pull Ashton after 60mins as well and put on

Hendo, I think Thornes experience and vision will really work well with

Ash and Hendo, Thorne is quality at setting up stuff and will be at

scoring and I think he can restore Ash''s confidence and also bring

Hendo on to be a huge future asset.

Since when should we be playing people for 60 minutes because they get tired ? If they cant play 90 minutes per match and be effective for the whole 90 minutes , they should go to a club that will accomodate that attitude.

Poor lambs - perhaps if Hucks and Safri dont like playing 2 games a week , they should have tried a bit harder to keep us in the Prem where they play less games and get more money.
