Andrews for Barnes - why?

Anyone else find this substitution bizarre? Losing with 20 mins to go and we take off one of our two strikers and replace him with a midfielder. That's what you do when you're trying to protect a lead, isn't it?

I'm sure I saw Barnes signal to the bench just before he was subbed. Not sure what for, maybe it was just a pre-cautionary substitution.

Albion went to a diamond formation (albeit only for a few minutes before KLL came on).

Not really.

Thanks Greens :(
OG has obviously seen through Barnes, and has done the usual and given him two and a bit games, then hooked him. Don't expect him to be starting again soon tbh...

Funny that - I didn't think he put a foot wrong today. Just didn't see enough of the ball thanks to the chaotic style of play.

that's the fella. You've got him. Same bloke that missed 4 great chances against Newport the other night. As for exquisite I think you might be overplaying that a bit mate!
And also scored one on Tuesday. And it is also the same bloke that played a great through ball to Ulloa in the first half today and made other great passes.

I thought the same, very weird sub, Lua Lua should of been bought on, or atleast bought on 15mins earlier.

Why? As usual he did nothing when he came on other than get a couple of free kicks. He seemed to be stuck in the middle and only had a run when he went wide on the left which earned the free kicks. I thought the worst substitution was bringing on Solly March with 4 mins to go and the not giving the ball to him

I agree that the March substitution was a waste, however Kaz was a threat as usual.
