Maybe could have took Hamer off (was on a yellow yet again) and moved Allen back to DM and put Jones on at AM

To rest Hamer for ten minutes ahead of a two game suspension?

Against a team thats shipped 23 goals in their last 7 games. The 1st was fairly lucky and the 3rd took a big deflection. Because we scored 3 goals doesn't mean we cant't criticise decision making in the final 3rd.

Its the same argument as we beat Fulham 4-1 and we are only X points off the playoffs when they point out that our form has dropped off massively and we aren't playing particularly well.

Anyone for anyone the most knackered

We’ll be dead on our feet next few games and we aren’t even using all the subs

Same happened last season when we had 5 subs. I'll never forget being 3 up against a team and MR not making a single sub then moaning we were tired the next game two days later.

It’s not even about impact just fresh legs. That’s where we’re at with this group now. Extra bodies so badly needed.

Not to rest him, just to make sure he didn’t get sent off and us go down to 10 men

Would be madness to take a midfielder off for a rookie (presumably lightweight) striker when you’re defending a 1 goal lead.

Robins may as well not bother naming a bench at all then. He'll be moaning on Tuesday about tiredness, but its his decision to to manage minutes.

Exactly.

It's not just about fresh legs. It's about game management.

If we had Waghorn, Kelly, Eccles etc on the bench then yeah make a change

But throwing on Tavares for his debut in a situation like that would be nuts. Hence why it didn't happen.

Fadz on for Hyam who was on a yellow.
Jones for Hamer, who'll be suspended for two games, and move Allen next to Sheaf.

Even if you put Tavares on and tell him to hassle and run after defenders it stops players who are playing two games a week from getting even more knackered. this failure nearly bit us on the arse today and I have a feeling in will do in the next few weeks.

It's not like the players on the bench have just been pulled out of the crowd to fill the bench. They are paid to be professional footballers and against ten men we should be able to work that to our advantage.

We'll take the three points all day long but I think our game management was poor when they went down to ten men. Instead of playing steady possession football we gave the ball away far too easily.

Hamer broke up play a lot in the last few minutes. Taking him off would have been daft. Thought we finally got some luck today when playing crap. Normally we play really well and get no luck sending off was well deserved though.

Their pitch invasion will go down in history as the worse ever, genuinely embarrassed for them.
Hundreds ran half way fown the stand then bottled it and left about 20 to go on, was pissing myself.

Even for Gyo who played 2 hours last Saturday, 90 minutes Tuesday and was knackered today?

Gyo is much better at holding the ball up than Tavares.

Surely game management means seeing out a tricky game to get the points, which we did?

I’m sure he prioritised the points on the day over possible fatigue on Tuesday. I imagine there will be a few changes to the starting line up injuries permitting Tuesday and over the next few weeks.

Cardiff will be a much harder ask. No Hamer, so interesting to see how he shakes things up. If we win one of our next two, I'll be happy. Any more than 3 points from the next 2 and i'll be ecstatic.

Yep. Never seen Tavares play but that’s surely a given. Every ball up to Tavares could well come back….. clinging onto a lead away from home is not the time

I don't think he's got too many options which is why we needed bodies in in Jan.
It's water under the bridge now though, just got to get on with it

I get what he means, though - we let them have more possession than was 'healthy'. Not helped by Kane's performance.

Thought Gyo led the line brilliantly today. Really good at protecting the ball, knowing he is going to take a whack.
