we need to play 2 up front and drop one of holding midfielders vs blacburn

But the cover does not provide the same attacking option as Traore. I agree Hill should not have gone out but honestly, if Hill had been available it would not have changed the result, the scoreline maybe but not the result as we did not pose any attacking threat from the back so the fools were able to double up and gamble on this weakness, over ran us in midfield so that Orr didn't get the cover he needed and we simply couldn't hurt them. Hilly, model pro and decent defender that he is, would not have caused Jol to re-think his atacking plans in the same way as he would have if Young and Traore had been available in their default positions

dont get me wrong wouldnt have made any diff to the result BUT cos we didnt have any cover which we would of had had we had a recall clause, would have trusted that luke young would have coped better on the right and then we could have defended hills side that litttle better, all ifs and maybes just highlights that with the squad we got letting him go was crazy

Agree totally. Mind you, it is a shade unlucky for Conners to get injured when Traore was suspended. Hopefully, Warnock will learn from what I perceive to be a bit of a schoolboy error really.
