Subs? (1 Viewer)

[skybluegod]

This is just my opinion but I think yesterday really showed that robins doesn't have too much faith is our subs. In the second half Preston pushed us and I think most fans noticed we needed a change but nobody came on until the last 2 mins which isn't helpful. Does anyone else think that robins doesn't have confidence in some of the players?

P.s I noticed that Callum Wilson was there yesterday he was doing a fitness test at start of game he must have failed

Yeah, does seem strange seeing how we have the best and biggest squad in the league.

I don't think this is necessarily the case, MR was probably happy the way the game was going, or didn't want to change tactics etc.

We normally make 2 subs, bringing on a striker... But with Elliott injured, he weren't going to bring on ROD.

What I'm saying is we were getting dominated in second half they should have scored another 2 times but didn't. When this normally happens he brings on another player but as there was no sheffers or Elliot he couldn't bring on a trusted player. So as I said he might not have confidence in his subs

He's been very hot and cold when it comes to subs. Majority of the time hes very confident in his subs and makes the right call but there have been moments where ive thought 'WTF you doing there'.

Yesterday I was surprised he didnt take off Jennings. Kept putting in tackles and being spoken to by the ref, but I suppose MR doesn't like to live safe, and is more of a chancer. A danger man.

Then again, hes got the qualifications i dont so ill leave the managerial side of things to him and have have every confidence in him that what he does is for the benefit of the team

I guess he was worried that a change might make them lose the concentration levels as it was a battle

Other than Jennings there were no obvious changes to make

We didn't have many attacking options on the bench

Had Barton and Bell but he obviously didn't want to use them, disappointed Elliott didn't make the game as I feel he would have had a big role to play
