I think the lack of subs is him protesting against the current limitations to the squad. I reckon he said he is not willing to replace anyone in case they get injured.

I really dont think that it is any 'Protest'.Hodgson will do what is best for the team.

Just a case of him not believing that any changes would be beneficial !

This ^^. Anything other then this ^^ would be utterly unprofessional and I do not see Roy in the spoilt youngster, toys out the pram brigade.

So do you think that was a protest substitution or do you think Roy's decision making is a little awry? 9 minutes of playing time left and you need to try and hold out for a point. Your best defender on the day is stricken with cramp, what do you do. Put a player who doesn't normally play centre half in or move a youngster back into that position, or put on a guy with years of experience?

I agree that Damo is way past it, but you can see why Roy did it. As for the new guy not being on the bench, he is probably not up to prem standard yet, but centre half was not really a position we were desperately struggling with until the recent spate of injuries. I also agree though that it kind of begs the question why we signed him in the first place.

I think Roy is the complete professional and has seen it all before (including message board guesswork).
I would have no idea how he feels about anything and expect him, above all other managers to at least complete any contract he signed.

We move in the direction of our thoughts.
Just think a little.

The players are giving there all for him. His last experience in management the pampered England team hung him out to dry, with a distinct lack of effort and application, whilst he took all the media flack.
I would imagine he is enjoying working with a group of players, who believe in him.
