On the other hand though, whilst I would have preferred that Warnock brought Reid on instead of Healey (but not for Camarasa!) Reid has been a huge disappointment this season conceding possession way too easily and just being knocked off the ball all too frequently.
When he did break free of the Fulham defence today he cut back onto his right foot instead of taking on the shot and the chance was gone.
Warnock keeps on buying number tens and still believing that he doesn't have the sort of squad with which he can play them. Decordova-Reid has had his frustrating games, but, then again, so has everyone of our players this season - I don't see how anyone can say he has had a fair crack of the whip when you compare how he has been treated with some of those (e.g. Hoilett, Morrison, Niasse) who have been there nearly every time when fit.
My feeling is that Reid is trying TOO hard in the limited game time he gets. He's trying to do things 100mph and force things to happen.
If he felt that he'd get the same leeway afforded to the likes of Hoilett and Niasse (unbeliveably!) and that he could have a run of games he'd benefit hugely from it.
Agreed. Niasse does work hard ( first half anyway), and confuses defenders with his shin control, but he’s not particularly fast ( Zohore is quicker) or good in the air ( Ward is far better) or skilful.. both are better.
As for Reid, I can understand why he’s not used up front and he struggles as the final man with the way we play, but he’s an excellent no 10 and when Camerasa was struggling it was made for him.
Warnock’s decision to replace him with Healey cost us at least a point imho
I couldn't believe it when Healey came on for Camarasa. Its not even like we then went with 2 up top as Healey played a lot in midfield
If we are desperate for a goal and we've already used the other subs then Healey for a more defensive player makes some sense, but to bring him on in the manner he did yesterday was baffling
