Subs in dressing room

Anyone else noticed that our bench does not stay out on the pitch at half time but appear to take part in the ht discussions. Must be a team building thing.

Don't know what you're watching. But they were on the pitch with 1 of the coaching staff as soon as the HT whistle went

Think he meant they don’t stay out long in comparison to opponents and in previous years

Talking of subs bbm didn't make sense with his 90min subs do it on75/80 mins but 3 on 90mins pointless exercise

Must have missed them blad der not what it used to be so first few minutes of ht always spent elsewhere but last year they used to stay out until the teams reemmerged.

The subs stayed out and did some drills before going in, presumably to be part of BBM’s second half talk after he’d dissected the first half with the XI on the pitch

Bielik went off with severe cramps on 90 mins, and it was worth a gamble with the other two (on 85 mins) with freshness in mind for a final assault

It didn’t work, but he gave it a go and it might have

Chris Usually managers take players off around 60mins+ if had lack of game time... making 3 at end for 3mins added time was irrelevant to tthe game maybe doing it earlier could've change way we attacked and couldve created a goal...its not a complaint just an observation ...

Allan, I (genuinely) remarked when the Blades made their subs, that I didn’t see why ZBBM would make any changes, as we were playing so well as a unit, but some of our players were dead on their feet (plus Bielnik’s cramps) with minutes to go and we simply couldn’t take a chance the Blades might take advantage

BBM is the man in the dugout, so he can see/feel the condition of the players on the field, so we just have to go with that

I think the problem is , the drop off in quality when we make subs is quite noticeable and we were battering them yesterday so bbm obviously didnt want to lose that momentum by making subs earlier than he did

Another reason why the next couple of days are so important to get a bit more quality in

Like said no complaints just thought it strange time for 3 subs! But yes can't say yo much given the brilliant performance overall
