Now that we have had more than 1/2 a season with the reduction of subs what are peoples views?

Looking at our bench against the Posh it struck me that it would have been beneficial if we had 2 extra places for youngsters.

Unless it's changed back to 7 I think it will damage the development of youth.

I hate the rule. IMO its the only reason Earnie hasnt been used. If we had 7 subs he would have been on the bench for nearly every game, and would have really payed off against Donny when we were 0-0 and no striker on the bench

yes 7 subs is a must its stupid clubs in lower leagues with small squads who voted this in surely it delays youngsters coming through

Youngsters don't get a chance, if we had 7 against posh on tuesday harris would have been on the bench 3 up with half hour to go would have been ideal chance for him to have a run out

think its a stupid rule as you can still make 3 subs! 7 on the bench gives you better options and gives youngsters a chance.
