Preservation?
Get three points first or at least a draw and worry about the next game/personnel afterwards.

That can be the only logical reason, TBH.
AN's decision making seems to be impacted by the following at the moment... Lack of investment in key areas obvious to all, up to 6 probable starters sat in the stand either injured or suspended, surprising loss of form from key players in the squad.
His behaviour smacks of someone who is desperately looking to tinker with personnel and formations looking for answers. I feel this explains why Gally was hauled off on Saturday. We can only hope that key players return soon & we find the spark that settles us down & the results will follow. A play off challenge is looking less likely by the week & at this moment we cannot rule out a relegation fight if there is not a swing for the better.
When AN was first appointed the reccurring view from Norwich supporters was that he had a baffling tendency to stay loyal to underperforming players week in week out. The worry is that he is currently showing these same traits, particularly in the case of Messers Rudd & Barkhuizen (who I feel could do with being withdrawn from the starting 11 for a while for their own good). He needs to learn from past mistakes & learn fast

Because he made a back for a player in a pathetic attempt to buy a foul which led to their first goal.He is basically Gash Gally at this level.
Agree with the first bit, but you're absolutely clueless if that's the conclusion you draw.

wow. just shows how folk see different things. i thought gally was pants on saturday. don't get me wrong he's fab when a gorgeous floaty pass is needed but boy is he weak when he needs to be robust. his 'don't get hurt' approach that led to readings first goal was so poor. watch the highlights and picture what went through his mind. i agreed with AN when he hooked him. opinions eh? plus he's going to struggle to complete 90 mins these days, so for me i'd bench him and use harrop instead until pearson/ledson/browne return.

I mentioned this in another thread, but he's only managed 90 minutes once so far this season which was vs Morecambe. No other side with top 6 aspirations (!) has a player in a key position that starts matches but everyone pretty much knows he won't finish it!!
Stoke have Darren Fletcher and Middlesborough have Stewart downing who are both 34. Villa have jedinak who is 34.

Honestly thought it was the better substitution.
DJ although poor runs about a bit more and is a better partner for Harrop.
Plus Gally had played a couple of decent passes but beyond that, gave Kelly and Swift the freedom of Preston in the centre

Gallagher has yet to impose himself this season and his idiocy against Stoke led directly to the rejigging of the formation that made us so poor against Norwich. Frankly he has not yet begun to justify his contract extension. If Browne is fit to start tonight I would prefer to see him and Johnson as the 2.
