Quality is needed when your best team isn't available, so get Zamora playing as many minutes as possible.

I do hope Chris isn't going all defensive again.

When BZ signed, I am sure that we all realised that he would not go the whole distance in terms of playing time, but personally, I had expected rather more than this. Of course there may be a reason of which I am not aware, but it does seem very odd and not a little frustrating, considering he must be on quite a healthy financial package . .

And who do suggests plays upfront?

Wilson was ill, Zamora can't last much more than 45min so far better to bring him on in the second half.

Maybe Manu but not really proven yet.

I really felt the starting lineup was our best option given the players available.

It's actually fairly attacking to let Stephens and Kayal to play more advanced.

If they hadn't got the lucky goal I recon we may have nicked on in the first half.

Pretty much this regarding team selection - there are so many injuries that we have run out of any other options!

At least Elvis is getting some game time. Some questioning whether he is this season's Toko; I'm hopeful that he'll be this season's Spanish Dave!

He is the new tinkerman......this is resulting in a decent squad not getting settled, look at Ipswich, flying with virtually an unchanged team for some weeks now.

Yes we have injuries, even so we are seeing changes every game now.

This was the answer given by CH

I'd agree with this.

playing 1 up front , at home , in what was effectively a 6 pointer really does show a lack of attacking intent , dominating large parts of the game but failing to score or get a point......attack is the best form of defence i always thought.

Zamora and Hemed don't really work as a pair and Wilson was clearly not fit enough to start. After Brentford, where Stephens and Kayal were outnumbered and dominated in the first half and Crofts really improved things in the second half, it was a sensible decision from Hughton in my view with the plan of using Wilson and Zamora in the second half.

What a ridiculous comment. He made two changes, one due to injury and the other illness, last night. Previously, he made one change for Brentford due to Hunnemeier's injury, one change for Middlesbrough due to Dunk's suspension, one change against QPR due to March's injury. How does that relate to a tinkerman? Completely bizarre comment.

Is there any reason why we can't start with Bobby, then bring on Hemed when he tires? There's more chance of us being ahead at half-time, then the opposition are chasing the game.

My question exactly. We'd be much better starting with Bobby, our most effective forward by far and then replacing him when (if) he tires. Far better than bringing him on when we're already one nil down and chasing the game. Very poor decision by Hughton.

You ask a question but then decide the answer yourself?

This... it makes no sense at all for Chris to say Bobby couldn't start when he CLEARLY could have. The fact is that Chris should NOT have started Hemed. Sorry Chris, but your mistake.

No, there is no reason. Chris made the wrong decision tonight... and then compounded his mistake by attempting to BS the Noddy fans who don't know better in his post-match waffle...

Even though it is possible that Zamora is carrying a slight injury? Why announce it publicly so the opposition know what to expect?

Spot on... so obvious to all but the club's lickers, it seems...

Because it so ****ing obvious, maybe?

I love how everyone has ignored the comments from people like Stockdale that Bobby Z had to be CARRIED in the LIFT to the players lounge after matches because HE CANNOT WALK, and we have seen for ourselves on the pitch after 60 minutes he physically cannot run or move quickly. Yet people think we should be starting him

What 'slight injury' allows Bob to play 30 minutes at the end of the match, but not start it?

Shall I answer this one for you too?

Is it? Do you know everything that is going on behind the scenes?

'People' also see he has started games, so cut the BS...

So you would start a player who may only be able to play 30 minutes, thus using up a substitute in the first half?
