Substitutions Strategy

[NorthWestIron]

I find it confusing. Discuss.

Absolutely, always weakens it by taking best players off

Saving them for the next game when the game in progress is “won”? (IHO)
I wonder if some of the players are not 100%, but start with the hope that they can last an hour and have the game won. Butler wants his subs to make an impact, today we had Scales, Howe, Dawson & Rose – did they? Did they ****!! The only thing of note was Howe’s failure to put the game to bed.

Is this because they are in and then out and perhaps nowhere the next time ?

Pick a team, pick a formation and stick to the initial team selected and formation and tweak accordingly. Substitutions – does seem to use his analysis data a bit too much.

Beestin and Sellars- Fleming were out on their feet and Roberts had got elbowed in the head earlier in the game. Let’s be right if we don’t get the result we want Butler will always be get it in the neck over substitutions but in truth we haven’t played well for weeks and several key players in defence, midfield and up top are missing and it shows.

The subs always feel like a game plan more than a reaction to the game itself

Strategy? What strategy……

[Rene Artois]

Too many subs allowed these days.
Max should be four – Gk, Def, Mid, Att
Job done

[Northumbiron]

If we get any more injuries or suspensions we may only have four!
