Slade's big call comes of


By Phil Smith

It was a big, big gamble to drop the exemplary Stuart O'Keefe to the bench, and could have earned him a lot of criticism.

Aron Gunarsson repaid his manager's faith with a moment of real quality, however.

The run to the byline showed great desire, the dinked cross with the outside of his right foot showed even better clarity and quality.

O'Keefe will have been disappointed to lose his place after working so hard to earn it, but it can't be blamed for the defeat.

Strange title of the article considering we lost the game

O Keefe on the bench I have to say I'm really baffled by.

Slade has made alot more than others only since January have a lot of people changed their mind about him (I haven't) his signings are questionable as are his tactics and team selections as demonstrated by dropping an inform okeefe and imo if any player should be replaced it should be malone his form has dipped the past few weeks

I think Slade has proven that he can manage at this level and should be given a second chance at it.

He has proven he can manage at this level but not for a team trying to get in the playoffs we have been desperate for a striker all season he signed 3 (4 if you count ameobi but I don't count him as a footballer let alone a striker) and 2 proved they were not good enough for top end championship and one is always injured yet you would trust slade next season to get us a good striker?

Totally agree about Ameobi I trust Slade to get a good striker or give Zohore and Saadi a chance.

Cant believe dropped OKeefe this time last week scored winner against Derby he has a massive influence on players performance around him must be more too this might just have undone weeks and weeks of good work

Thought he was carrying a knock, if not baffling as he's been fantastic. Was mom last week.

no mate spoke to stuart after the game just dropped/rested unbelievable
