Bizarre sub

[HackeyBlade]

So your CM gets injured & you have a CM on the bench, why on earth would you push a centre half up and put a 38 year old on in his place? Effectively weakening midfield and defence

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Cowardly lion sub

 

[Newbury Blade]

Bizarre, perverse, and totally wank substitution.

 

[Shoreham_Bhoys]

Love Jagielka, but he's long past PL standard, would be a decent mid-to-lower Championship CB.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

I'd have put Norwood on and just moved Ampadu to RCM but if Basham's brilliant piece of skill had lead to a goal, it would've looked an inspired move.

Tbh it's not going to matter who is in the back line if they keep pushing up when there's no pressure on the ball, against forwards with this kind of pace.

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

I call bullshit. Basham's just put in the best RCM performance of the season so far...

 

[LS16Blade]

Substitutions have always been the gaffer’s biggest weakness. He’s surpassed himself tonight, though.

Jags barely gets any games at all but he now makes it 3 games out of 3 v Man U - arguably the quickest strike force in the league.

You couldn’t make it up...

 

[Newbury Blade]

I call bullshit. Botham's just put in the best RCM performance of the season so far...

Maybe but if he stayed at the back we wouldn’t be losing

 

[dillis]

Bottled it. Cost is the game

 

[Espania blade]

Botham was a cricketer

 

[dillis]

Robinson and Jags in a back three LOL

This would’ve been the only substitution he could’ve done instead but ampadu has played well at CDM he’s pushed forward to help the press at times and still got back into position and linked nicely with fleck a few times so I can understand not wanting to disrupt that.

I’m not saying bringing jags on was the right decision buts it’s not a completely whacky off the wall decision.

 

[Brumdog66]

No problem with Basham at cm but putting jagielka on is the worst sub I've ever seen. I've backed wilder every step of the way but think the pressure has got to him

 

[HydeParkBlade]

It's fucking embarrassing that we're bringing a podgy 38 year old on, in any position, in any situation.

If you think his substitutions are bad, just give him another £20 million to spend and see how it works out.

Podgy? I wish I was that podgy.

 

[true99blade]

First time this season that Wilder has genuinely 100% cost us a game. Bizarre is a great word to describe that sun.

 

[HydeParkBlade]

Podgy? I wish I was that podgy.

You're presumably not playing sport at an elite level, being paid an elite salary, so I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[HackeyBlade]

It's not so much that Basham can't hack it in midfield, more Jagielka is long past it and at the moment the last thing we needed was to weaken defence, I'd have put Verrips in midfield if it meant keeping the defence intact

 

[Guesty]

Botham was a cricketer

He did play football as well, to be fair!

 

[yorkshirecoast]

The substitution of a madman. Great start then brings Jags on against the fastest strike force in the PL.

 

[SLB]

Botham was a cricketer

Played for Scunthorpe though

 

[Blade82]

Why make 2 unforced changes just because 1 player goes off injured.

Osborne was the obvious sub and would’ve done a very similar job to Bash in midfield, without unsettling and already unsettled defence.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

We’d have been as well putting jags in net to be fair.

Feel like wilder second guess himself after thinking about going for Osborn first... that’s they way it’s going atm. Unfortunately Chris isn’t making the right calls atm.

that said much better display and we’ve not been bad. Just caught a couple of times against a side who can score against anyone

 

[Wincobank S9 Blade]

Jagielka’s finished too slow now had a good career good with us 1st spell but sadly not good enough

 

[Chabuddy G]

This result is on Wilder. What a fucking stupid sub. Was never the same, and was never going to be.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Jagielka reminds me of the brief spell when Steve Bruce played for us. Past his sell by date. The difference is that Bruce picked himself .

 

[Blade82]

Bash now back in his original position now we have nothing to hold on to. Bizarre

 

[Russ]

Fans there or not I think we need an explanation from Wilder for this.

What’s he gonna do next? Take Egan off and put Mousset on.

Baffling.

 

[Bladesman]

Wilder just cost us any chance we had by doing that.
