I don't think the subs were particularly negative, Helan has been one of our key players when attacking recently, but for its the fact that he changed things at half time to let Maghoma play behind the front two and according to what has been said both on here and on the commentary it was working and causing Noblot problems!!  Once he made the changes we went back to the 442 formation that hadn't worked in the first half rther than sticking to his changes!!   SG is a 442 guy, we all know that, and to a degree it has worked hence our position in the table, but he is so stubborn and rigid that he seems to get the jitters when we change formation and quickly reverts back to it.   I have no problem with 442, but I have a huge problem with it being the only way we play!!!!

We have got away with 442 this season because so many other teams have used 442 against us. we have struggled against teams that have used 352 or 451. In fact we have only beaten Wigan of sides playing three in CM & that was because they were awful.
