    Just seen a shocking miss at Norwich, nothing to do with Wes but it was confusing because I first I though it was a clearance,
    turns out it was a Norwich shot, just needed a tap in and he put it over the bar.

    Wes "did a Robbie" and nodded in a goalward-bound effort on the line to put Norwich 1-0 up at Sunderland. Was taken off a few minutes later when goalkeeper Bunn was red carded.

    Yes a hot cross Bunn was sent off.

    However.. there was someone coming in behind Wes and Wes has his back to goal,
    I don't think he can be 100% sure the ball could not be cleared if he left it.

    Also there is the Bunn sending off for handball, it came off his chest may have hit his arm too, hard to say.

    The secong most substituted player in the Premiership (20 times) and second only to Podolski. Not sure what to read in to this. Is it that he puts a super human effort when on the field or lacks stamina or just fades in the latter part of a game ?
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Could also be seen partially because as a "third" or linking midfielder he's the most likely to be sacrificed if Norwich are losing and want to bring on a 2nd striker when chasing the game.

    or protecting a lead.

    I know a lot of the Norwich fans are unhappy at Hughtons use of Holohan.

    Norwich are usually behind in games, but either way big players tend to be brought on towards the end
    Even if they are ahead the same thing applies as the opposition are bring on their big men and
    by passing the midfield.
    They usually bring on 6'2 Kamara towards the end, the midfield us usually by passed towards the end.
    Plus to be most subbed you also have to be most played.

    Assist v Palace, could have had a shot himself but played it back to a better positioned Gary Hooper.

    Got a segment in MOTD.

    "Wes has he been?"

    If he does go in January I don't think he will be short of suitors.

    I suppose it put a certain pressure on a manager when a national team coach turns up at a match.
    Obviously the club manager will not play the player just to please him, nor would the national team coach
    expect that, well not unless he had slipped him a few quid before the game anyway.

    Has anybody bothered checking Norwich forums or know how the locals feel about Hoolahan's exclusion? I would have only seen them intermittently over the past few seasons but, green tilted glasses or otherwise, invariably he was an integral part of their attack. Are they playing a different system now? Who is it that is keeping him out? Is it justified?, etc, etc.

    A couple of weeks ago Sky's Soccer Saturday pundits, including Le Tissier and Phil Thompson, were saying they're amazed Hoolahan hasn't featured lately. They say that he may be incorrectly perceived as a luxury player but that at the very least he should be playing the home games against fellow bottom half teams, although the consensus seemed to be he should be a regular starter.
