Bishops Finger

Steve Harmison hasn't been mentioned yet. I'm sure Collingwood supports the Mackems though.

How many people criticised the line up when it was announced. Most of us expected the line up to be the same as it was in our previous matches. Hughton would have taken more stick if he had made changes and we'd lost. Everyone would be saying he shouldn't have changed it. It's a no win situation for Hughton. We didn't play badly, especially second half, we practically wiped the floor with them. We just couldn't find the back of the net, it happens to the best of them. Their keeper made a few decent saves. I thought we looked a worse team when Hughton did make the changes. We lost our width, everything went through the middle, so it ends up congested, and we had gaping holes at the back, hence their second goal. I'm just saying Hughton didn't do too much wrong, it was just one of those days when we looked like we were never going to score.
