However I think Winnall and Atdhe could have come on for Boyd and Fletcher without changing formation and we would have still carried a goal threat. Equally Fletcher could have stayed on to the end and been on hand to put away one of the chances we had. It's the double sub on 87 minutes I don't get. Thats what you do when you are defending a lead not when you are trying to win a game. As I said I think given the positive performance and crowd reaction today I think Bully was wary of making changes and costing us the game if they went wrong. So he basically put it off as long as he could and I can understand that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 The lateness with which Jos would typically make subs infuriated me, but I have to say today that I didn't feel the great need to change anything given how we were playing and who we had on the bench. As it is, Nuhiu almost grabbed a winner for us, but even so, I did feel the subs weren't warranted on the way the game was going. Having said all that, I was also left wondering when they came on why if you're going to make subs, why make them that late in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Ill say is well done Bullen for another good performance in his 4th game and undefeated too. I agree Bullen has done a fantastic job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point to prove and tireless physical worker. Did enough to win three games anyway but Winnall would have changed it. Matias was flagging and Winnall should have been on after 75. Needed to do more attacking at that point as Fox and Hector both looked tired and Palmer was going off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxine Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Winnall should have been on earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Bullen said it was a gamble because it exposed us massively in the midfield area. It was a shot that almost paid off. Personally i thought it was quite intelligent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for 87th minute subs, I only think they're useful in last game of the season if you have some unused players yet to play during the season... otherwise unless you're expecting West Brom-type injury time of nearly 10 minutes, I fail to see the impact anyone can make in 2-3 minutes.

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Should have brought Jones on. Guaranteed to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
