Even though Hedges did well, taking Mama off did not seem logical unless he had a problem. And... when he does play centrally, as he did, drifting in, he seems a bit nippy.
No, I don't think so. Not his brilliant best today, I think DS just wanted to change it , and we scored a minute later, so well done DS
Wayne Goodison made some comments after the first half and when Thiam was suggesting Stendel might not have been happy with his defensive game today? Ended up with a trip to the out of hours care GP rather than going to Oakwell so missed much of the first half so not sure if it was justified or not.
Agree with this and I think we need to accept that it is a long season and games are coming thick and fast. Using the squad makes sense - good management - well done Daniel.
Thiam did seem today as though his own defending half of the pitch was toxic. Brown did defending duties well, but he was exposed as a youngster today.
DS had a chat with Thiam during the lengthy stoppage . Maybe explaining what was about to happen with the substitution .
