The bench is better than you give it credit for. It wasn’t long ago Puncheon was starting every game and was club captain. Likewise Ayew scored 10+ last year in a shifty Swansea side. Wickham is obviously not match sharp but decent too.

Talk about being pissed off, week in week out it’s the same old Sh*t I said this when Hodgson was appointed he is Old School, past it. We had two good motivators at the club in Sammy Lee and Steven Reid , ok Reid left due to personal reasons, but Sam Lee was energy on the sideline. We need someone at the helm with modern thinking of the game, Hodgson and Lewington don’t have it. Dougie Freedman is a poor director of football, poor player purchase, only Meyer stands out, Sorlorth who was Hodgson choice is complete waste of time.
What is the bloody point of bringing Wickham on in the 89 minute and replacing Mac, Kouyate has done nothing all match. We had an oppertunately to Press Everton in the second half, changing the frontline by bringing on Wickham, Ayew Townsend Zaha on the wings, but we did sod all. This has been said season after season. We need to invest bring in players of importance, strikers, creative midfielders, chuck loyalty out the window, Again it’s going to be another desaparate January.
oh pissed if with this corrective spelling as well.

Sorry end of rant.

I suspect that this is because of his lack of substitutes, however as I have mentioned before, in his mind the players carried his plan to the letter and he was happy with their workrate and organisation and would have been happy with a point - besides he had to consider what he had on the bench.
I think he felt that despite tiring, his players on the pitch were best placed to get a result and bringing on fresh legs when were were drawing might have upset the apple cart somewhat.

And of course he cannot be blamed for the missed penalty.That goes in and there would be a different mood on HOL.

What a wally comment!!

Why don't you put £100.00 on it if your so confident!!

Missing the point
Fresh legs change a game.
If he was happy with a point at 70 mins then pack the midfield. We have a squad for a reason.
