So we play Ralls a midfielder in the middle :thumbup:

Bring on Daehli and move Noone to full back :roll:

Tom A off, Gabbs on at left back, just defend and leave Noone on the wing :?

Did you see the way Gabbidon played against Bournemouth?

I'd have rathered Slade bring himself on at full back than Danny!

He could have just took Noone off and put on gabbs.

As it was I think the way it was done was probably the best way.

Reported he felt a twinge whilst warming up so couldn't come on

No he couldn't as Tom Adeyemi had to go off which was our last sub. He had to put Nooone LB as we would of had 3 wingers on and 1 CM in midfield (Ralls can play CM , I doubt Pilkington,Noone Daeli can play CM) so I think he made the right decision

An alternative would have been to put Morisson in the midfield and bring on Gabbs in defense, but not sure how fit he is at the moment. A change in formation would have been an option as well. A tired Noone on the back didn“t look right.

It tells a lot, btw, that Gabbs was preferred before Cala..
