Substitutions Yesterday

Sun Aug 03, 2025 12:18 pm

In the past we have often criticised managers for making questionable substitute decisions but yesterday I thought BBM had the decisions "nailed on"

1-0 down at half time. No changes - clearly told them your the better team go out and turn it around

2-1 up. Decided not to risk playing with 10 men - swapped Lawlor for Daland - Good Call

2-1 up with 15 minutes to go. New legs should make it easier. Straight swap Robinson for Salech and Willock for Ashford. Again a good call in my opinion.

last 5 minutes we were under the cosh. Not going to take any risks and brought on new legs x 2. Again a good call - where the extra energy helped.

Also the subs counteracted fergies 3 subs in one go! Risa ofter failed to counteract opposition changes to our cost.
