Obamah on the bench and Pelupessy on the pitch, madness.

I thought Pelupessy had a good first half and enter game overall. This might have been a game for both Pelupessy and Onomah to start.

he was on the bench - are you suggesting we pick injured players ahead of fit players knowing we won't play them?

[owls7]

I'm sure the lad at his age could of gone on for thirty minutes.

[theoldtimer]

He got an injury for the under 21's midweek, odd that we didnt bring him on though.

Strange if it's that bad don't put him on the bench still I've calmed down after shouting at the TV to bring him on for thirty minutes.

[owler66]

Look we've played 1 game in 2 weeks give Jos a break the lad needs looking after 

[S26 Owl]

Should've brought him and preston on at 2-0 to just have a go. Our bench is absolutely terrible and lacks attacking options. Joao cant start purely so we have an option off the bench

[gableratchet]

Not big Dave''s biggist fan but he should have played from the start, their defenders would have known they were in a game, Joao is too lightweight and is easily knocked off the ball and after a while his head soon drops. Thought Joey P. had a decent game but too many players had an off game, just hope we can bounce back against QPR and Birmingham.

Was surprised not to see him play tonight.

I'm still sat here thinking why didn't he bring him on.

 

JL must have thought we were playing well, only one sub when we were chasing a game

[Beholder]

So bizarre he wasn't brought on after we went 2.0 down. 

 

If he wasn't fit, why was he on the bench? 

If he was fit why wasn't he on the pitch?

onomah played for england under 21's on 11th and 16th october in the international 'break' so its pretty obvious 3 games in 7 days 2 international would be tempting fate with injuries etc. I know he young and he played against andorra and scotland but imo he deserved a rest and i sure he will be playing on tuesday against qpr.

[Guest Kagoshimaowl]

To be fair to Jos, as Onomah has been away with the under 21’s. He probably thought he wouldn’t be fresh. I did hear he had a knock too. HAS to play on Tuesday though!!

[WalthamOwl]

Jos seems to love making odd decisions when it comes to team selection. 

[handworth52]

This is exactly why sometimes jos just aint a clue.played brill last 2 games and cant even get off sub bench when we have played so badly.

Played great the last two games then gets dropped I don't get it.

 

As much as jos as steadied the ship in various areas...his team selection at times is one that still frustrates me!!

 

Onomah as looked decent and he’s got better the more he’s played. His last two games he’s been there or there about in terms of MOTM, why drop him? 

 

I may may be old fashioned in my views about football but I just think you play your best 11 that’s availavke...I don’t agree with the tinkering, swapping n changing!!

Should surely have come on in second half. No point having the subs if we are not going to use them to try to change the game.

Shows just how weak our bench is.

[vulva]

If Jos thinks the likes of Preston, Kirby et al can have more of an impact on a game late on than experienced professionals such as Boyd, Jones, Abdi and Hutchinson, then he must be off his rocker.

Pretty sure they said on the radio that he was carrying a knock. Jos probably didn't want to risk him for the last 10 mins when Boro were kicking and elbowing everything that moved.
