Has anyone else been surprised at Hughton's decisions in the last few games re. substitutions? We seem to be leaving them till later and later in the game, there was a time when you knew that the 60th minute would bring some sort of change but now it's getting well past 70 mins and the last 2 games into the 80+ minutes.
I was surprised to see not a single Brighton player even warming up in the last few minutes against Preston when we could have run down the clock down or even have brought Skalak on to run at the defence. And on the subs bench I'm not really sure what kind of scenario would have seen Rohan Ince come on last night. An injury to Dunk or Duffy perhaps but we had Goldson on the bench who can cover that and if defensive cover is a must then I'd have preferred to see Hünemeier.
It's only a very minor annoyance but there are times when I'd like to see a bit more use of what CH has got available to him.
