Moro generally does quite well as a sub

Personally though I would line to see both given more than 6 minutes when they come on just as I would occasionally like to see a substitution which is:

(i) before the 80th minute; and
(ii) something other than a like for like change.

Not often, admittedly, because our current formation generally works but just occasionally would be nice to try and take the initiative in a match rather than maintain the status quo and I do find it a bit strange that if we are going to play on the break we don't use Jackson and Bennett more given their extra pace and mobility.

It's really the only area where I think the jury is out on Hughton. He's clearly a great coach, good bloke and a good planner/organiser but can he adapt during matches and influence them like Clarke arguably did today?
