That remains to be seen. Hemed might get a first half hat trick.

now Wilson is here looking over his shoulder, he has plenty of incentive

Poor decision not starting Wilson .

I don't think I've ever seen you say a positive thing before a game.

So might Stockdale...

5ways? I spy bluenose interloper!

Alright, time to get back to winning. Up the Albion.

Hemed is good in the first half - he can put the shits up defenders before he runs out of puff.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Hemed will know if he doesn't score he will be benched.

Watch him score now

Looking forward to this. Wilson on for Zamora after an hour, fresh legs and ideas. When will Lua Lua ever be fit again?

I dont agree, Wilson may be better than Hemed, but still think Hughton has called it right. Hughton is not just picking skills/shapes/formation, he's also managing personalities and confidence levels. Hemed will know his drought isnt good enough and he's got a hungry and skillful ready made sub on the bench breathing down his neck, but in giving him the chance, Hughton has shown faith in his ability. If he'd slung him on the Bench in favour of a guy who's been in the club 10 minutes, that may do more damage than good to Hemed's confidence.

Good and expected call, go and prove doubters wrong Tomer.

They've been saying soon for ages. I'm fine glas, more to the point how are you? Are things getting towards working order again? Do you miss the nurses?

100% agreed. Hughton knows his players and is an experienced manager. Total confidence it's the right call.
