Sometimes you're damned if you do & damned if you don't
There was criticism that Neil brought on Bassong too late last night & should have done so much earlier when we were in front, yet I recall the Newcastle away game when he was hammered (possibly including by yourself) for bringing on a third centre back when we were leading as that just invited pressure and waves of aerial bombardment.
