61 Substitutions Made This Season

[GK]

Which is by far the lowest made by managers who have a comparable amount of games under their belt this season.

It's actually lower than some managers who have already been and gone (e.g. Walters, Harris and a few others).

Wilder for example has made 108 subs, Corberan 104, Farke 97, Parker 86.

I know the argument will be that we are higher in the league than most other teams so we're doing something right, but are we leaving points behind due to a lack of changes?

We don't have the strength in depth of eh Sheffield United, Burnley or Leeds

 

[only one rade prica]

Our bench isn’t very good, though.

Hjelde is rated apparently. Could have done with an extra body defending the crosses at the end as they had their centre halves up front

 

[Mowgli]

We don't have the strength in depth of eh Sheffield United, Burnley or Leeds

The squad is nowhere near as bad or thin as people make out.

 

[BarrySheensAutograph]

Aye, it's definitely his achilles heel, but not making substitutes has worked with the last few comebacks

 

[JL1985]

Some managers don’t like making subs when a game is tight. I know Pep (until this recent run) doesn’t.

 

[Lonz]

Hjelde is rated apparently. Could have done with an extra body defending the crosses at the end as they had their centre halves up front

Hjelde isn’t highly rated.

 

[HarrogateMackem]

Our bench isn’t very good, though.

And yet when we have needed them they have stepped up like (Watson, Mayenda, Browne, Moore, Adil) even the lad Aleksek looked lively the few mins he's been given.

 

[ontap]

He could have made subs today like mag

Why tho , he didn’t make subs and we had chances to kill the game off with the players on the pitch. Not his fault we didn’t convert them .

 

[James]

We don't have the strength in depth of eh Sheffield United, Burnley or Leeds

Neither do 20 other clubs but they still rotate when players are blowing out of their arse or playing badly. The reluctance to change things up is becoming a bit of an issue/oddity.

 

[The Situation]

We don't have the strength in depth of eh Sheffield United, Burnley or Leeds

It's not just about that though, is it?

Using today as an example. Could we have brought Alese on to counteract their change in style towards the end of the game when they were pumping everything long?

Ultimately, we conceded from it.

 

[Mousehold Mackem]

So if the manager subbed more he's more likely to get the sack?

 

[only one rade prica]

Hjelde isn’t highly rated.

According to Danny Collins and Frankie - RLB rates him.

Looked raw and enthusiastic when he was starting last season. Didn't look great, but he's young and that was a struggling side.

 

[Weremuthe]

Your point is?! We don’t have the strength in depth to make them and it’s costing us. The lottery of the play offs is where we’re heading we could very easily have been top 2. It’s very frustrating but we’ll fight on.

How long is Rigg out for? We’re running out of players.

We've got 4 games in about 10 days - we'll be knackered

 

[Billy Batts]

Their sub, Leonard, changed the game for them.

 

[Rokeroar]

It's not just the number of subs it's the minutes they play.
Today was truly awful mismanagement and cost us 2 points and however long Rigg is out for.
Something needs to be done

Yeah if Rigg hadn’t got injured he wouldn’t have made any changes.

Or we have crap subs?

 

[HarrogateMackem]

The lads were out on their feet at full time. Literally all of them dropped as soon as the whistle went. Every game recently they have been absolutely knackered. Can't believe he doesn't see it if I can.

 

[Dexter]

Or we have crap subs?

But we don’t…

At least three of those players on the bench today could have come on and not looked out of place in a championship match.

 

[The Hesk]

It's not just about showing how thin the squad is etc. Sometimes you don't need them to have an impact or change the game, but simply add running and tracking back from out wide to make you more solid.

A player running on empty is useless being asked to run up and down the field. Better off getting fresh legs who might actually close down a cross.

We've been 3-0 up at home and he still won't give players a rest. He'll continue to play and play till the end.

Hes done a great job so far but it's a bit bizarre like.

Bang on to be fair. Hes really boiling my piss. The lads on the bench must be getting pissed off

Hjelde is rated apparently. Could have done with an extra body defending the crosses at the end as they had their centre halves up front

Or Alese, both him and Hjelde could do with minutes on the pitch as they could easily be called to do 90 with Ballard injured.
