Harry explains Tarbs/Townsend absence

[W12_Ranger]

“Townsend has been excellent. He’s done great for me, so it was a difficult one leaving him out.
"He’s been as good a player as we have, but I decided to give Junior Hoilett a run today.
“I felt we needed a target, so I brought [Jay] Bothroyd in as Bobby [Zamora] wasn’t fit.
“Adel hasn’t been at his best so I left him out.”



Stupid to leave out Townsend, got lucky today, but next time it will back-fire.
Same with Tarbs, Bothroyd is sh1te, he's a Championship player, not a PL player, he might deliver once every three games against a sh1te team, but no more.

Think that makes sense what you say, dropping Townsend was not a tactical masterstroke we got lucky with the result yesterday. Dropping Taarabt can be justified a little bit more that I would put him straight back in the team against Sunderland. Bothroyd Is useless at his whole career as being based on purple runs but I do doubt this is the start of one of them.

you know what, I don't give a flying f**k if we got lucky yesterday we WON and if it was lucky about time too! . For what its worth I think harry got it SPOT on . 2 upfront, a target man and Park yes even Park ran his socks off for the whole 90 minutes. i think Harry may have at last found the formation just might keep us up P S i'm sure Adel or Townsend would have come on if Caeser had not got injured. Bring on the Mackams its about time we stuffed them!

How many games has Taarabt played away this season that we've got a result in?! To say we'd have destroye them is absolute ********. He loses possession on the break which was the game plan yesterday. Anyone that went could see that. Soak it up and counter with pace on the flanks.
Leaving Townsend out for Hoillett was a good move. He defended well and broke with purpose.

Harry got it spot on and deserves credit.

Well done to Harry, proved Adel deserved to be dropped ( I wouldn't play him next game either tbh ) also there's something about Bothroyd I like but I don't see enough for it. He has the potential for sure

I find it amazing how the same posters just can't be happy after a win and have to find something to moan about. Bore off will ya?

It is incredible isn't it. They've made their position clear ie "we will be relegated...Harry is useless/clueless" and they just repeat it on and on and on. Now most fans realise we might still be relegated but most of us are not relishing the idea as a small seemed minority seem to be.

Spot on. He needs a rest now.Have clearly not been efficient enough in his his play for a good while, which is a worry..
Bothroyd, on the other hand, now shows us glimpses of what he did when he was a Cardiff player. He is decent with the right support.
As I said before, I like him as a player, he is smart..

Can some one please tell me how in f..ks name there was any luck involved in J Hs lofted ball to Remy for his goal it was vision and ability to 1st time chip a lofted pass , also was J B just in the box out of luck to tap in .
Now can some one also tell if Harry is a bit of a jon terry sneaking in the back door cos a couple here seem to have an obsesive agenda against H , well perhaps not could any woman stand their depressive negitivity

Ermm, me

Agree about lifting Taarabt out. Resting him could help. But I still don't understand why Granero is playing!!!!

About Townsend, I guess Harry thinks Hoilett has more experience and is finally fully fit unlike before so he thinks he can do better.

Good to see Harry start with attacking formation at last.

I wonder what their reactions will be if we do stay up? I wonder if they'll actually be happy about it...
