How can he take the blame, he's right, their change shouldn't have stopped us performing.

If I was O'Neill I wouldn't make any subs unless injury or fatigue meant I had to.
Any change pretty much instantly weakens us further.

Sometime you need a sub to react to the other teams changes , like on Saturday, Rowett’s half time sun changed the game in their favour and was so obvious we needed change to react to it

Just change the shape of those on the pitch because subs only weaken us

Clucas, Matondo and McClean were beyond wank. Those are at least 3 of the players he was alluding to..Baath just can not figure moving forward, I would play Fox as the left hand side central defender if we must play 3 at the back..

Just change the shape of those on the pitch because subs only weaken us I have to agree. You should only bring on a sub if someone is knackered, or cannot handle the situation on the pitch. There is no reason why the players could not have changed their system, or shape, teams do it all the time, they don't need subs necessarily to do it, especially if the best players are on the pitch. It looked like we weren't planning to change the system when we brought on Clucas, he immediately went to Brown's position.

I'm not giving away my ID details to watch that shit. They need to be very careful how they advertise the ST's for 21/22. There are plenty thinking, "is it worth it?"

They're on the bench due to the injuries we have" "Couldn't take off a centre-half as we needed them to defend the long throws. Taking one off would have weakened us. It wasn't a day to bring wide players on, who we haven't got much out of" Not going to go down well

That quote re the youngsters is a complete kick in the bollocks for the youngsters. No wonder he can't fucking motivate the players coming out with shit like that. Taking a centre half would have weakened us - wow we were so bloody strong that we conceeded 2 anyway. He needs to either change (very unlikely) or got rid of - the man is a bloody dinosaur.

And at 2 0 down what was there to lose? I think Mad MON has lost it!

I am beginning to think he is out of his depth. We never see a change of mentality on the pitch, at 1-0 they should have been geeing each other up a few flailing arms, bollockings. But no, same old slow build up, no tempo, did Etheridge make a save at all? We created the square root of nowt, apart from the disallowed goal that even the Brummie commentators thought they got lucky with. If thats given maybe then we see a different game, but it wasn't, and we didn't, we just carried on in automatic mode. Its shit!

I guess it depends on the character of the kid in question, Norton definitely looks like he has something about him.....

Maybe he had a backlash after chucking McLean and one or two under the bus last match. He was very careful to make excuses and to be positive about the performance of the players today, and he wouldn’t criticise anybody except to say the youngsters aren’t ready. It was very unconvincing and worrying really.

Yes, both interviews didn't match what we saw on the pitch, which was dreadful. Wonder if he was given a ticking off by the hierarchy?.

Not sure about that - just think he genuinely thinks they are not ready for the Championship, which is fair enough IMO. He's probably right. They all need a loan ideally. He said Norton did well. It's when he brings Vokes on ahead of anyone with a pulse that he loses me completely. We're past the point where bringing him on is defensible Definitely an argument to give Coates a run before the end of the season as well

Definitely an argument to give Coates a run before the end of the season as well Norton is better than Brown already. Coates isn’t any worse than Smith. He needs grow a set sharpish. He’s so lucky fans aren’t allowed in.
