I agree. When we saw Alistair Smith warming up we all thought that he would replace Will Tomlinson. I couldn't believe that JD brought off Otis Khan who in the absence of Jacob Mellis is our only midfield player who provides a bit of quality on the ball. We were then playing with three defensive midfield players which was a clear signal to Orient that we were trying to hang on for a 2-1 win with around 25 minutes to go. We had nobody to play the ball to who could put his foot on the ball and pass it forward. It was a poor substitution. We missed Neal Bishop and Jacob Mellis massively tonight. We needed some more experience and a bit of quality on the ball to see the game out.
