When your most expensive player ever comes off when you're chasing a game, it suggests the manager has lost faith with you. Poyet's done it a lot recently as well, although today was the first time it's actually paid off.
He hasn't built the side round Mackail-Smith as he said he would, he hasn't got goals out of him, and he now prefers to opt for Barnes up front.
Not many Albion managers could get away with wasting £2.5 million. £2.5 MILLION.
Not even sure we'll be able to save face in the summer, a 28 year old who doesn't look much more than a 10 goal a season striker? 500k max.
What a disappointment.
