Got a slight query.
Why have we replaced Hughes with Russel?
I don't dislike Russel however where I accept Ephraim had to come in for Jackson, why was Hughes dropped too?
2 changes seems a fools move when the last time Powell made an unforced change we lost 1-0.

Managers make mistakes just as we do. CP has played Russell because he believes that his inclusion strengthens our team. That's hard luck on Hughes but the way things are.
As for Russell's impact on the team - the marks that most people gave him in yesterday's game (see Lanc's thread) suggest that he played well and there are plenty of supporting comments that suggest that he fits in with CP's thinking. I've not seen him play for us tet so I can't make any personal comment but this doesn't look like tinkering to me.
I said 2 changes seems a fools move.
Champion at splitting straws.
