Substitutions - Nuno vs Kieran 12:37 - Mar 4 with 1433 viewsStuartSlater

Disclamer as most posts of a critical nature need to include these days - love this team, Mckenna has worked miracles

But and this is a big but - Nuno was clearly feeling and watching the game and used subs and reacted to situations to change them.

Unless injuries - you can predict the minute of our subs and who and where... 67 minutes seems to be the first one and then usually striking options is done so late to not make a difference on the actual match.

We changed two of our defenders at half-time, that severely limited our options for the rest of the match. And that's before you consider the players they had on their bench to bring on.

It's not as if we didn't continue to match Forest for the duration of extra time so that feels a weird criticism today.

Of all the games to choose to analyse effectiveness of substitutions, one where we matched the opponent for 120 minutes seems an odd one?

We were forced to change two players through injury at half time, leaving us limited. Taylor was running on empty at the end, and that contributed to the penalty miss. Mass had to come off as he was struggling and would be sent off for another slo challenge.

We simply don't have the squad for this level.

I'm not sure "bring on our two best players because we're losing" constitutes a tactical masterclass.

Exactly. Particularly the bit where Wood was coming on and then sat down when they scored.

You're right - bringing on their first team players when they were a goal down was the work of a genius

You can only have 25 players in your squad, when half a dozen of them are injured at any one time (more currently) then any squad is going to be feeling stretched. If we'd had better luck with injuries this season I think it'd be panning out differently.

Remember tom Taylor was only on the bench as it was a cup game. Not in the 25 and will probably play today for the U21s

Youth players don't need to be in the 25
