Since i have had time to take in the debacle of tonights game, something's still worrying me and i need help to understand why it happened?

A lot of emotions passed through me whilst i sat there watching the game unfold, embarrassment, humiliation, frustration and sheer bloody unbelievable bewilderment.

As they went off at half time to boos i thought the manager would act and make a substitution or two at the start of the second half.

After all he had a full Scottish International midfield player sitting on his bench, whilst he too was watching the drivel taking part in the game. But no we had to endure another half of torture with no thought of changing the set up in any way

The game was crying out for someone to put their foot on the ball and bring others into play with a short accurate cross or pass.

Kevin Thomson is a good midfielder, as good as we have got at Easter Road but this manager will NOT bring him on to the field of play.

At Tynecastle Hibs did not start to play or even look like a football team till he came on late in the second half he kept hold of the ball and brought those around him into the game. Ever since he has sat on that bench awaiting the call for action and it doesnt come.

Tonight the manager made a substitution and pushed the center half up field in search of a goal. We still had not had a shot on goal all night yet. Then in the 89th minute he makes a sub and brings on Watmore.............

Now i know we dont always see the same game as each other but can anyone tell me why the manager made this substitution so late in the game. He must have known it was only a minute to go with 2 extra time minutes. What was going through his mind that he thought things would change at this time.

I just dont understand and hope you will be able to explain to me why and what difference this was going to make, as im baffled here!
