I just reflect back to some of the comments from Sunderland fans re Jack Ross who "doesn't win big games" and have been monitoring and waiting for that to change. IMO a good "learning manager" basically evolves into a better one after reviewing failures/mistakes in the past. A classic example of Ross's misgivings was in the semi-final last Sunday when Neilsen brought on two subs in the second half to try and change the game. Ross, as he has done in many tight games, stood on the touch line and did nothing. My awareness of that situation immediately "pricked up" as I'm sure it did for many knowledgeable Hibs fans and I would've been prepared and ready for this move in order to nullify it - we've seen this kinda ploy before from Hertz FFS and I certainly read it before Neilsen did it!!!! He did nothing of note!! Also note he finally brought on Stevie Mallan with 4 mins remaining - a bright move that eh!!
