I guess we could see a few similar players brought into the squad as to not upset the flow of the games whilst refreshing the lineup. Replacing a Ladapo with a Pigott for example just wouldn't be the same. Ladapo with this new fella appears like a straight forward swap opportunity. ( online highlights) |  |

Agree. John-Jules ability to play in any of the forward positions makes him a great sub now we have the 5 subs. I think it might mean we keep some of the U23s who are close to first team action as well as there'll be increased opportunity to include them in the matchday squad and get them some good minutes. |  |

I think we may well see the more of a move towards ‘finishers’ this season, like in rugby, where if you’re on the bench it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re weaker than the starting 11 but that tactically you can make more of an impact coming on later in the game. For example imagine telling Ladapo that he’s got 60 minutes to absolutely use up everything he’s got knowing that he’ll be replaced by Jackson on the 60 minute mark who is prepped for 30 minutes of intense game time, you can do that in 3 separate positions and still have 2 subs available for injuries / other tactical tweaks. | | | |

You’ve just reminded me of one manager I had who once said to me
‘I want you to run your b*ll*cos off for 85 minutes.’
‘What happens after 85 minutes’ I once dared to ask him
‘You can run for five minutes can’t you.’ He replied in all seriousness.
It’s just tickled me thinking about it but he was a fantastic coach. | | | |
