Our three top scorers were on the bench today.

We've been lower.

I understand we have been lower, but we didn't stay there for long.

Fair comment, let me rephrase my OP which was written in "sound bites" for effect I suppose. "There was way more firepower on the bench, the most experienced (and expensive) defender was on the bench ( while a rookie played out of position), and the best midfielder on our books was on the bench!"

Clough knew those boys on the bench are the best with a shovel he was saving them for the Snowmegeddon dig out on Sunday.

at the end of the day we all know what the issue is, it's the negative tactics, baffling selections, and criticism of the players, I mean jCR comes on as a sub, scores equaliser, looks to rip the defender every attack, clough switches him to the left and slags him after the match..

they cant play the system Clough wants to play and are scared to death of getting on the wrong end of the now famous clough tantrums, it usually means an exit from the club via a loan or a shut out from the fist team squad altogether..

if we were playing this system and getting results, we'd all be fine because we'd be dragging ourselves out of the division at the very least, we'd accept that no problem..

but, who thinks were winning the playoffs with this style of play?... how can we tell one way or another, we win the big occasions dont we, we dont know one day to the next whats happening, thats why were all nervous..

i'm still waiting for the pasting we're gonna dish out to somebody..
