But he has been injured and we were comfortable when he took Wes off.

Stoke were utterly bereft and it was a change that simply didn't need to be made.

We would have kept creating so yes, there is every chance we would have scored again.

We ended up with elmander on the pitch and Wes in the bath.

That's Hughton. Simple as that.

- Don't care when, but he needs to go (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Mar 8, 17:37:44
  - Ffs what's Delia done wrong (n/m) (NCFC) - hoolahan, Mar 8, 17:40:00
    - Please re-read. Not having a go at Delia at all. Just stating (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Mar 8, 17:43:17
      - Another season In this league would be massive. (NCFC) - hoolahan, Mar 8, 17:55:05
    - Don't think he sharing she's done anything wrong, but it's true she's a 'poor millionaire' (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 8, 17:42:08
      - So are we expecting too much? (NCFC) - usacanary, Mar 8, 17:46:55
        
        yeah I'm not sure either. You need to be 'lucky' with a manager in our position I think. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 8, 17:49:33
      - *saying* (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 8, 17:42:20
  - I think we can do better, but can't change it this season now. Still think we'll stay up. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 8, 17:38:26
    - Just saying he needs to go whatever the result this season (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Mar 8, 17:41:15
      - Yep I really don't like having him as our manager, even if we stay up. (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 8, 17:44:30
- He was starting to give the ball away a fair amount tbf. Howson should theory be more dire (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 8, 17:35:55
  - Wes was running the game! (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 8, 17:45:27
    - Hmm, 1st half he did. Second half I honestly thought he was less effective. (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 8, 17:47:45
      - I agree with Yellalee (n/m) (NCFC) - revsimon, Mar 8, 17:57:25
      - If it were in isolation, then no. (NCFC) - norway, Mar 8, 17:50:17
        
        This is undeniably true. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 8, 17:51:22
      - I thought he was starting to be even nmore influential in (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 8, 17:50:04
        
        Funny old game... (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 8, 17:51:03
        
        Indeed (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 8, 17:53:04
      - Not debatable at all Wes did not deserve to be subbed. (n/m) (NCFC) - BINMEN8R, Mar 8, 17:49:24
  - Wrapped up any way it was an awful decision (NCFC) - BINMEN8R, Mar 8, 17:43:08
    - I think he was a good choice to play counter attack. Again, it's hardly a scandalous sub r (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 8, 17:46:12
      - This 100%...they were petrified of Wes couldn't handle him. (NCFC) - BINMEN8R, Mar 8, 17:50:59
      - We weren't under any pressure. We didn't need to play on the counter attack (NCFC) - norway, Mar 8, 17:48:26
        
        but they were still 'done' until the penalty (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 8, 17:50:17
        
        I thought it did (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 8, 17:53:55
        
        No it isn't. (NCFC) - norway, Mar 8, 17:53:27
        
        I don't agree that it was a poor sub (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 8, 17:58:34
        
        It very clearly did. We immediately dropped deep (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 8, 19:27:43
    - what did wes create? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 8, 17:44:59
      - There you've said it...more solid defensively. Nutshell. (n/m) (NCFC) - BINMEN8R, Mar 8, 17:52:54
      - Please he put one a plate first half for Snod I think he was dangerous (NCFC) - BINMEN8R, Mar 8, 17:48:04
      - No need to counter... Just carry on the way we set out.. Let Stoke make changes! (NCFC) - hoolahan, Mar 8, 17:47:56
  - agree entirely (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 8, 17:37:55
    - So is wes "a bit part player" we were winning the game! (NCFC) - hoolahan, Mar 8, 17:43:38
    - Howson dunt create anything and he dunt tackle much either (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Mar 8, 17:39:04
      - Again that's a matter of opinion. Fact is though, we started to look very good when he was (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 8, 17:41:01
        
        But he has been injured and we were comfortable when he took Wes off. (NCFC) - norway, Mar 8, 17:44:08
        
        Ok. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 8, 17:48:51
      - you keep saying this - and it is still wrong (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 8, 17:39:24
        
        he does make some tackes, but he offers little creativity (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 8, 17:41:13
  - Ooh, unfortunate split of a word there, lol (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 8, 17:36:16
- He must be aware of the stats... No subs has created or scored this season (NCFC) - hoolahan, Mar 8, 17:35:37
- fresh legs (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 8, 17:34:16
- "fresh legs" ? ..oh that was the West Ham excuse (n/m) (NCFC) - colincanary, Mar 8, 17:33:36
- and why he started RvW ahead of Hooper (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Mar 8, 17:33:22
  - Because RvW had a very good game in his last game, and Hooper had a shocker in his? (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 8, 17:34:22
    - RvW was crap in his last game (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Mar 8, 17:35:45
      - Well that's a matter of opinion of course. Most people said it was his best game for us. (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 8, 17:37:18
