Second leg should be interesting...
BTW who's first choice, Carroll or Howard?

You heard wrong, it was a very good game. Very open.
I believe Carroll is still number one, Howard was always going to play these two matches.

Why rotate the keeper? Ron Greenwood did it (wrongly) with Shilton and Clemence.
The keeper is the most important link in the side. If you don't concede you don't lose. Therefore you should have a definite first choice and play him when available.
Another of Clough (RIP)'s great philosophies. A lot you could learn from listening to him (or reading his 442 column) or watching his sides play...
