Popular Post Sefton owl Posted April 13 Popular Post Share Posted April 13 Probably been brought up in another thread, but waiting til 90th minute to make 3 subs when it was obvious we needed em as soon as they equalised, if not before. Crazy if you ask me considering we need every point we can get. 23 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miffed Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Have to agree. Didn’t really make sense to wait. Some of the players were looking leggy …. Wish we’d given the 3 subs at least 10 minutes to try and have an impact on the game 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post maidstoneowl Posted April 13 Popular Post Share Posted April 13 Yup, it was puzzling. Almost like we forgot what minute it was /we had unused subs. Too little, too late. Blackburn West Brom Sunderland Feeling a real sinking feeling tonight after all the highs/false dawns since Xmas or so. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheffWed Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Big fan of Röhl but that was ridiculous. It was a must win game considering what was going on elsewhere. We need to make changes earlier, change formation and apply pressure. What makes this so much worse is Stoke was truly shocking, a absolute pile of sh*e, they was there for the taking and we waited, Stoke wanted a point, happy to sit back and ride it out. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueowls1991 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Didn't lose because of subs Lost because we can't finish Same story every game. League one forwards. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridportOwl Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 It really was puzzling wasn't it. Normally Danny makes earlier changes. I was thinking he only really thought we would get a winner from a set piece. so that is why he didn't change it. We could all see that we needed to do something different though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that, but if you are struggling to win a game you make changes and it was too little too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I can see why he didn’t want to make subs earlier. The players coming on were always going to make us weaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have done it earlier. To be honest we were crying out for pace in the first half even when we were dominating. But we had more than enough chances to win 5-0. Smith missed two Ugbo missed two Palmer had about an hour for the one he smashed wide. Goal mouth scramble didn't go in Goal disallowed The spine of the team is the same as it was last year. Ihekwe, bannan/vaulks, windass, smith. It's league one. There's only really gassama to come on that can really change a game now Poveda is out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sykes Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 They needed to come on as soon as Stoke scored. Making those subs weakens us defensively, so weren't needed when 1-nil up, but a draw was not good enough today, we needed to throw everything at it from the minute they equalised. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Soul Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Agreed. I mentioned at the time why bother so late in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Bit odd. Felt like three subs to see a game out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it may have felt like it ….. We didn’t lose. Don’t think people are blaming the subs for drawing today, we’re just questioning whether giving them more time, especially when the game was getting stretched, would have given us more of a chance to retake the lead.

Sanchez_Jenks Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 The bigger mistake was not instructing wing backs to sit in for a bit. I cannot work out why you'd be that open having just taken the lead and they'd literally just made attacking subs to highlight their intent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I’m not going to criticise the manager. He’s got a lot more right than wrong this season. It’s looking bleak tonight but the mood could easily change for the better next weekend. It’s not over until it’s over. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we were slow to make the subs but I see your point and you can see why he hesitated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geörge Whitebread Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Windass for Paterson was an obvious change before kick off and for every one of the 66 minutes it took to realise. Crazy to leave it until full time to make the final changes. Too little too late. Gassama needs to start the next game in place of Johnson too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windass did okay first half, he sent in a lovely ball for a ridiculous easy chance that Ugbo missed. He linked up play well. What did Pato actually do when he came on? He won a couple of free kicks and appeared to back heel their player when he was on the ground. ( Pato was getting up at the time but it looked a bit naughty from where I was sat) For the record I am a big Pato fan, but he contributed next to nothing when he came on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
