What surprises me, reading this forum, is the focus being put on the substitution as the area of blame. Firstly Andy Procter - I thought he was your best player by some way when you beat us at Valley Parade last year and had heard there were other clubs quite interested in him ? If the lads coming back from injury it seems a pretty sensible substitution at 2-0 up with 10 minutes to go to get him back on the park. There weren't howls of derision at the time and infact i recall pretty rapturous applause. Easy to be the 9 o'clock jury. So I'm not convinced that slating Procter and/or the Manager is justified. If we played 100 10 minute games against you giving you a 2 goal start chances are that was the one in a hundred where that would happen.

Good luck rest of the season.
The grumbles over the substitution are because of who was taken off rather than who was brought on.
