    Said the same thing Saturday.
    I'm sure at times he just picks a name out of the hat then brings them off!

    The vast majority of his substitutions surprise me, not least replacing Nardiello with Odejayi on Saturday.

    Nardiello was annonymous

    and as soon as ODJ came on, we looked more dangerous. playing Nardiello from the start was the baffling thing.

    I disagree........how many chances did Oddjob have when he came on??? Zero...........Nards had a couple of decent chances.

    RE: Nardiello was annonymous

    In the first half yes but in the second half he actually looked up for it and we were on top, no need to make any changes at all, we did sod all once Odejayi came on.

    Sometimes you baffle me

    Most of our chances happened when Nardiello was on the pitch
    we hit the post twice and had one cleared off the line in that time.
    I thought it was his best game since his return from QPR (not that that was hard to achieve)

    Once KO was on we never really looked like scoring apart from the penalty that wasnt given.

    I'd have put KO on for Leon who clearly isnt at his best out on the wing

    RE: Sometimes you baffle me

    When he wasn't offside he did ok....the 5 or 10 mins just before he was taken off he was actually starting to do something and closing down.
    Not sure just how Nardiello can be credited for Devaney and Leon hitting the woodowk though.

    Thought we should have started with Macken and Ferenczi though.

    RE: Nardiello was looking like he might just score

    When K O came on we might as well have called it a day. That's not a criticism of KO it's that the whole dynamic of the team changed when we resort to hitting the big man with every long ball. Poor decision in my opinion.</p>

    Nardiello and Macken are on a totally different wavelength

    with his first touch, ODJ got the ball and ran at the Leicester defence, won a free kick just outside the box as it looked like he'd run straight through. in that one moment, he did more than Nardi did all game. he spends most of his time daydreaming and hoping that the linesman hasnt spotted him 10 yards offside.

    RE: Nardiello and Macken are on a totally different wavelength

    Before the substituion was made we were actually starting to create chances and getting the ball on the floor and running at the defence with a bit of pace. As soon as Odejayi came on we resorted to hoofing it which their defence had no problem dealing with and totally lost all goal threat.

    Unbelievable

    We were all over Leicester in the second half. Nardiello had found his feet and looked our most dangerous player. Davey then took him off and we were complete **** for the rest of the game.

    There's a lad called Russ who calls Praise or Grumble

    and he slated Nads... however after Wembley he asked in anguish why Nads wasn't brought on ... it took the presenter to advise him that Nads was injured. This guy comes on regularly and I always seem to end up shaking my head. Hope he's not one of ours !!!:eek:

    Opinions

    just goes to show. I thought he was totally ineffectual, dont think Macken and him completed more than one pass to each other all game, he might have tried more than normal but I was screaming for ODJ to come on within 5 minutes of the second half starting. for a player supposedly playing for a contract, or with a point to prove. he just doesnt do enough, too ready to complain and not making things happen. first thing ODJ did when he came on was run at their defence. shame Leon wasted pretty much every set piece we had.

    RE: Opinions

    and the next thing KO did was shake hands at the end of the game. Just thought Nardiello was starting to get into the game. As you quite rightly say it's opinions, but you're wrong, I'm right Facty facty FACT !!!:D

    Greedy Barsteward! Got into a couple of decent positions, players unmarked in the box, they were never getting the ball. When he has the ball in the box, its a waste of time other players even bothering, he is only ever going on his own and shooting. &quot;Best finisher at the club&quot;, players unmarked in the box, he puts ball over the bar. Twice. *****!

    I agree with that, however if you know that you are likely to get the 'Hook' if you don't score what are you going todo?
