Some of carlos' tactics confuse me. I think the Holmes sub at half time was wrong, I think sinani was poor again and I don't want to seem like I have something against him because I do want to see him succeed but, there just seems to be something missing from him, yet he and Holmes seem to be carlos' golden boys.
As it stands I'd rather a half firing koroma than Holmes or sinani just for that injection of pace and unpredictability.
Should Thomas have been made to lead the line in the second half, to me, no. He's a makeshift second striker at best, he doesn't look across the line at all hence the offsides, but maybe he'll learn it. He was the most threatening player though with his pace, we just have to work out how we can utilize it.
I am wondering why he doesn't give Rhodes and ward as a pairing a shot, with Thomas in the sinani role out wide or bring koroma in for a spell instead.
I'm yet to see the reasoning behind the fanfare for anjorin, it could be because of the injuries but he's been back long enough now for my mind to be able to impact and show what he's about. At the moment he seems like the guy at village cricket who gets a game because he's mates with a few of the players. I'd be surprised if eiting stays for next season, I imagine he'll be going Dutch and playing at vitesse or Groningen

Having taken the lead twice I thought we should have made it stick. Hell we gave them the chance to win it late on.
It was a hard game to watch and I think we could have gone at them more than we did.
Not sure why Ward was subbed, it will come out in the wash but he wasn't getting great service.
On a day when almost everyone else seems to have given up on a top 6 place, 3 points would have been useful, but 1 is better than 0.

No, Amelia, because it's a hard sweetie and I like chocolate bars best. I like to chew my food (32 times apparently, although I always lose count). Soft toffees are OK, but nothing beats the original McCowan's Highland Toffee from the 50s. I always spent much of my pocket money on those tasty chewy toffee bars for a penny.
Oh and by the way, another point for the total, could/should have been more but still acceptable. Monday's game could turn out to be vital.

Some times you get what you deserve and other times like last night you get away with it.
I have no problem with him moving Sorba up top but then as the game goes on and nothing changes he really should have put Rhodes on the pitch and at least tried to go for the win. Instead all his subs were like for like and the last one was just ridiculous.
Boring negative football.
