Their subs changed them for the better, ours made us worse. Why take Cody a nd Baker off? Thorn never ceases to amaze me......:jerkit:

Baker was playing quite well! He only ever makes like for like changes :

Their manager changes it about and they get back in the game

I actually thought the Cody sub was the right one to make. He was quiet today by his standards and Elliott was a lot better than him today so justified staying on the pitch.

Baker done well, but may have been tiring.

I don't think Elliott offered much more, only prospering from Codys movement and link up play. When Cody went off Elliott became non existent. Cody is our '20 goal a season man' so why take him off after an hour?
Baker looked upto standard for once, was silly to replace him.
We need better fullbacks if we are to continue with this fuckin' diamond IMO

Cody and Baker were our two best players today. The changes were baffling to say the least.

It the timing of Subs that never fails to annoy me always waits till the opposition scores.

Hasn't got a clue on how to change momentum in matches

Thorn has no clue when comes to subs he always gets it wrong

 

[Nick]

Does he always make like for like subs too? Has he ever brought off a defender to put on a striker?

Thorn should have taken Kilbane off because his contribution today was nought, and with his penchant for like for like subs then McSheffrey should have been his replacement.
That would have left us better positioned, at that point 2-2, to go on and win the game without upsetting the shape of the team.
Baker was doing well before he was taken off, and as a prime example of a so called "confidence player" taking him off at a time when he was doing alright must have knocked him somewhat.
Are all the coaching staff spineless and dare not say "hang on a minute AT", it is plain to see these things from the terraces.
Or are they all as inept as AT.....or do they think if they "give him enough rope" as they say?
