I’d like to see a stat on how many clubs in the league today only made one second half sub between 45-85 mins
Say it every week but something has to be done about the officiating in football!! How can you grab a player round the throat in front of the referee and nothing be done! To then go and score the freekick and set up the equaliser??!! Its pathetic week in and week out!
May I inquire of our manager why Simms was taken off injured or knackered i will accept... from that point we were sitting back... Great free kick by them... then.. Our defence is not good enough to hang on .
Terrible result that, in the context of the game. We needed fresh legs after 75 mins but we gave them the momentum by not making any. Alex will say he needs players, and that is fair enough, but he could have made much better use of his bench today IMO. Just hope Ballard isnt too bad, but he looked in trouble to me. Would make it a really crap day.
This result had nothing to do with bad refereeing. Need to look at our own use of subs Neil usually spot on but let himself down today. Was clear as day things needed freshening up.
AN to blame. Simms too early and left it too late with his subs. 4 players had cramp and he let them continue for far too lto long and tide turned. Points wasted.
Well that's ruined my Saturday evening. Been out and about but we need to manage our subs better or does he not trust them to do a job?
He needed to bring on a holding midfielder but decided on the bench he needed three Center backs and no holding midfielders instead…
So close to winning to nicking that back at the end as well. Matete would have been helpful in that last 15.
