They certainly saw Mikey as a threat but the suspicion of others is that this was as much a tactical change as it was to protect a key player. We'll never know the impact this may have had in the second half had we not gone down to ten men but its difficult to disagree with Bartley when he said that MJ had posed the greatest threat and, with Coventry's goal coming just before half time to put the wind back in their sails, it might have been better to continue with him for at least 10 mins to see how the second half panned out before deciding whether to sub him or not.
