The final substitution...

[3London]

Cardiff were completely dominating the midfield after half time...he needed to do something to change that.. It was either mass or chery who had to give way. And mass was much better once he moved into the advanced role. Pouter for Austin was an obvious one and replacing jet for the ineffectual light weight gladwin also logical.
Maybe he should have swapped gladwin for polter and gone 442 for a it.

But I really can't see what the problem was.

As others have said , had jet or Phillips done their jobs this would be a non argument !

Austin is clearly unfit at the mo needs more games(if he stays) plus needs help up front can't do it all on his own.

[swede]

me too! Thought we looked quite good on the break with Chery, but Doughty came on far too soon! Shocking sub

No just a different result but the story still reads we were shlt

May well still have been poor overall but there certainly wouldn't be people questioning Ramsays substitution. And getting a win so early in the season would have been a huge confidence boost
