Hear Hear! I want an omelette but have no eggs. I have the makings of a risotto.

Shall I try and make an omelette anyway? Bennett on the left; Holt alone up front. Not once, in an emergency - often and in consecutive games. I said it weeks ago: Hoots has spent the season grimly whittling square pegs.

I don't blame him for trying to impose what he believes to be most likley to bring success - but I *would* like to see some signs of his learning, taking lessons from what he's seen. Just wrong-footing the opposition once or twice would be nice. At least he's stopped doing like-for-like subs, and leaving the changes til the 88th minute. So I guess he is changing. Eat that, Suggs, you nob.
