    Re: Joe Bennet off at halftime

    When quizzed on whether Bennett's substitution was tactical or owing to injury, Harris replied: "Neither.

    "I took him off because I'm a manager and I make strong decisions."

    That is an uncharacteristically curt reply which possibly raised more questions than it answered.

    When pressed further on the decision, Harris' response potentially points to something which might have happened in the dressing room during the break.

    "Sometimes you just have to make decisions at stages in games or moments in changing rooms and I decided to take Joe off at half-time."

    Before a follow-up question was asked, Harris stood up and walked out of the press conference.

    I'm not sure what to make of that. Bacuna wasn't out on the pitch with the rest of the substitutes at half-time, which suggests that the decision had already been made to bring him on at the start of second half.
