Etchesketch Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 A lot were saying that this would make a big difference with us and our depth of squad but Moore has barely utilised it. Just 3 or 4 games where he has used all five subs. A lot of the time he has just used 3 like last season. Most other managers seem to be taking advantage of 5 subs. I suppose proof is in the results but there have been games that we haven't won where our bench being more used could have made a difference. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 i'm sure that if he thought making 5 subs would improve us in games then he would but he tends not to go down that route and results seem to prove him right not to ....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomtheOwl95 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Think it might be something we see the longer we go into the season. Will help as we have one of the older squads in the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a tendency to assume that whenever we drop points, an alternative course of action would have led to a better outcome. We drew and Moore only used three subs? We'd have won if he'd used all 5. We'll never know of course, but it's rarely going to be that straightforward when we're dealing with a sport as complex as football. Having said that, the most likely example I can think of from this season involves substitutions I wish we hadn't made: keep Windass and Bannan on the pitch against Plymouth, and it didn't look like we were on for a loss. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Not sure what the average is, probably around 3 per game, but in 2 of the 3 league games we've lost we've made 4 subs, which probably indicates... tbh I don't know what it indicates.

FlyingOwl Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 If he had randomly brought on Jack Hunt/Jacob Brown for the final 5 mins yesterday and we conceded he’d have been crucified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, one of them was Plymouth, we were level and very comfortable until he made those mad subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 You don't need 5 subs when you are winning. If you are losing by a couple then yes change half the team and hope for the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
