I don’t think anyone is suggesting we bring on a young centre back or goalkeeper. But a striker can’t do much wrong in 5–15 mins on the pitch over a absolutely wrecked Matty Taylor who can barely move.
How would putting on two attackers see us being torn to shreds ?
I'm sure it has."Hi Ryan..do you fancy finishing midtable for twice the money you are on now?! "
Comments would include:
What was the first word of the post you quoted.
I bet he would aswell most players go where the money is he will know about the bid
I know ,just going by KR logic couldn't put a 19 yo winger on for 10 minutes but could play a 17 yo out of position for 90 if required!
There is clearly money. We clearly have a fundamental problem using it effectively.
Well I don’t think we’ve finished yet. But it would have been better to do it all a month ago.
Not at all. I wouldn’t. You play players in their correct positions. What exactly was the point of throwing brown on in the 90th minute. Not like he’s a brick S***house of a CB is it? Especially with our penchant for floating free kicks and corners into the box with zero pace on them as well. We needed to stretch the game yesterday at 1-0 down to try get back in it. Both O’Donkor & Goodrham have pace to burn. The fact they weren’t used at 1-0 down to try get back in the game is stupidity.
It’s a bit desperate to think two boys who’ve never played a first team game would have saved us. Makes more sense to ask why there weren’t any experienced options.
Because he got given 5 minutes. If they aren’t trusted to be brought on. Don’t put them on the bench. Go with 5 subs. Literally pointless having them there to not bring them on when with have nothing to lose at all. You can make 5 subs these days too I might add. As I have just mentioned. I don’t think KR was worried about losing 2 or 3-0 seeing as he allowed SE to go up for that last free kick.
I would ask that, but if they are the options at the minute that could of made any kind of difference. You bring them off the bench. Not let them sit there twiddling their thumbs.
To which his answer would probably be, yes. Money talks with most players.
Think of their development and confidence rather than KR basically saying you are not good enough to pop on for 10 even though we haven't done anything this 2nd half .
How can you develop if you aren’t given the chance? How do you know if they won’t thrive in that environment. We were 1-0 down. Not 1-0 up and needing experienced heads to hold on. We needed anyone who could make any kind of difference yesterday. We brought on a CB in the 90th minute and sent our keeper forward. If we had conceded a goal pushing forward for an equaliser I wouldn’t of blamed goodrham or O’Donkor that’s for sure. That was a no lose situation for us where we should of used them with very little pressure on them once we went 1-0 down. It could be the making of them. Not gonna find out with them warming the bench that’s a sure fact.
The difference could be though one is ready for div.1 football and the other is not. Then it becomes a real false economy.
And then it becomes the Jamie Mackie scenario all over again.
We did against either West Brom or Coventry, and even the Asst Manager who did the post match interview commented on what he needs to doo to improve. He kept runninto dead ends or actually into the player. A solid loan playing every week is needed to allow him to develop.
