Was Jonny Hayes injured? If not NL made a huge mistake on taking him off knowing it was a gamble to play KT in the first place
We could have slipped him back if KT did not last the game like he didn't so bad a desision.

{Ed007's Note - I think Hayes got the nod because Lennon wanted someone with a bit more about themselves physically than Sinclair to deal with the initial 'battle' these games start like and to cover KT when he pushed forward.
At 1-0 up and them down to 10 men perhaps Lennon could smell blood and thought Sinclair could produce some spark going forward and exploit any space the extra man should have given us. To be fair to NL, there was no way of knowing KT & Boyata would get injured and KT obviously felt fine at half-time.}

Right decision to take him off he’s too similar to kt in the positions he wants to take up I always wondered why Sinky player more inside than wide but it’s clear to see kt runs that wing.

Hayes was also on a yellow card. Maybe it just crossed NL's mind that another 'honest mistake' might have been made to even things up! just a thought.

I think he got the hook cos he was on a yellow. He put in a beauty of a tackle early on and was then booked. I reckon Lenny didn’t want to give brother Bobby an opportunity to even up the score. So brought Hayes off. That’s my view on it anyway.

The first problem today was that the manager, based on past experience, thought he was playing against Rangers.
Burke should have played, the Orcs defence would have retreated 5 yards if he was playing,
Three at the back would have sufficed and not only saved Tierney but took control of the midfield,
Rogic should never have been introduced, he is not match fit and at that stage we were down to nine men.
I was willing to give Lennon a go but after today I am not convinced!

Agree, he must have known KT doubtful to last 90 mins. Think if he had to take Hayes off jt shkujd have been Burke on. Ajèr was immense and is proving me and many others wrong who said he wouldn't make it as a CH.
