i don't think we are a team reliant on Manning and Mackie. They have played very well since being re-introduced, for sure arguably the best players in the last two games. However we have played well and won without them in the team (every now and then i'll admit). Too many short memories, we've also played rubbish with them on the pitch. We were poor in the two before Reading and just nicked those wins didn't we, really?
The main disappointment I agree with (apart from losing) is that we seemed to be finally gelling at Reading, and now we'll not know if that was because of those two left on the bench, or if we are just generally #### and got lucky in January.
The rest of the team just didn't step up the tempo, we aren't good in possession and panic too easily. However we could have easily lost against Burton with the same team as against Reading, as we played a different style of football, and we had to.
If they'd started and we lost, then been rested against Newcastle Ollie would be chastised for that too no?
I agree they should have started, and we should have gone for points against Burton. But, we should be going for points in every game. Who the #### are Newcastle? We've beaten better teams, and we should believe we can beat them too.
Hindsight is a fans privilege isn't really.

Ollie watches the players in training and maybe he noticed something with Mackie and Manning which is why he rested them. If he had said that fans would have complained about him making personal remarks about players so he can't win whatever he does.
Also this season for some reason we have played badly at home against the teams lower in the table than us. Maybe we should be focusing on why this is happening.

As much as i love Ollie he is not known for his managerial nous (IMO) ... Hubble was right in what he said...
It shows a naievety on his part...
An accomplished manager would not have made that mistake .... we are most certainly not outside the relegation battle ..
