Agree that MM would no doubt be more cautious in a league game and phase the substitutions but I suppose he was keen to keep young Ben sharp and give a couple of potential first choice strikers game time when leading comfortably. Pity though not to have Connor Jennings involved, as he looks a quality player who may well blossom and make a difference.I think it was all about giving them time on the pitch given the lack of recent matches. I don't think MM would make three subs with half an hour remaining in a league game.
Thanks for the reports guys and pleased for you to have seen a few goals for a change., although tempered by our strikers continuing to misfire! How did Andy Cook look when he came on in terms of confidence after the injury and perhaps reticence to risk too much physical contact at this stage of recovery? The Wirral radio commentary team were very much advocating Norwood being replaced and wonder if you feel he is the most out of form and contributing less than he used to?
As you have highlighted sounds like Jenno played well and Hughes in his best position as holding midfielder. However from the commentary didn't seem as though Lois Maynard is making much of a case for inclusion. How do you think he performed and has he lost form after the early season much improved performances when I thought he was MOM a couple of times.
Although we do have a very large and capable squad, arguably as good as anyone the NL, it seems from your recent reports that we are still searching for the ideal blend and formation.
