Did the substitutions cost us at all? Maybe just enjoy the win.

I think Hecky explained this at his post match interview, available on Sheffield United tube.
We've won the match, enjoy your Saturday evening, and think about the good things today

I'm not convinced the changes on Tuesday were the reason we gave away the lead. I think we conceded one and shit the bed. I understand that N'Diaye and Brewster make it easier to get up the pitch but their goals were purely bad defending from the team.

Brewster has come back after an hamstring injury
Hecki not taking any chances of a breakdown hamstrings are tricky injuries to recover from.
Hecki must have reasons for taking illiman off ,he tends to come off towards the end of a game.
Would have been nice to score a few more! A good win anyway

The end does not justify the means.

Round the bend in the river
Heckingbottom doesn't seem to think that Brewster. Ndiaye can last 90 minutes. Yet he expects Sharp to chase up top all game and play 3 games in a week.

Finlay - yes, I get that with Brewster.........fair point. But with Illiman, he's our most creative (without MGW), most energetic, most busy, most available & he also can put a tackle in (.............unlike our midfield two................who Roy, along with Enda "i'm having a fag" Stevens - were the main downfall at Preston IMO).
Cramp apparently

It's not so much taking them off, it's what you replace them with. To beat ten men you stretch the width and length of the pitch and make the opponent run. We took our out ball, Brewster off, which boxed us in and maybe Preston's compact shape more effective than it should've been. Brewster for Burke was the change: the kid had run his race, was pencilled into play today and was coming back from an injury. Slater was also a more natural sub than Berge to give us energy and steel; although, in fairness, Berge did good job shutting down Fulham. I can only surmise that with a moves being close PH didn't want to risk Burke or Slater, in which case they shouldn't have even been on the bench. Stevens for RND was a natural change as Stevens was injured.
Today we didn't really have a suitable sub for Brewster because Moose seems to have burnt his bridges. The Brewster sub made sense in isolation: coming back from injury, packed schedule, second game this week etc. I'd seriously be considering recalling Jebbison if Moose is done at United.

Brewster recovering from a muscle injury so gets rested.

So we should have been happier today with different substitutions (=the means) even if the result (= the end) had been a defeat? Crikey.

Got away with it today because Luton were poor, he didn’t on Tuesday.
The worrying feeling for me is he doesn't look like someone who can change a game in our favour with his substitutions.

Well its not insanity, thats doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome, he did the same and got a different outcome
In both cases this I think it is simply fitness. Ndiaye often cramps and as his first full season, I understand the do try and manage minutes and monitor recovery time very carefully etc...Obviously we never feel confident with any lead at the moment, but I would rather we try and back ourselves and take positive long term decisions around these two.

We were 2 nil up against Preston down to ten men and made these same substitutions and lost control of the game.So why do the same again.Luckily for us Luton were shite and never pressed us at all.Why substitute a young striker who was on fire today and neads game time and leave a 34 year old on.Dont reply with the are you not happy with a win shit shite.

Absolutely. This "insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result" thing is bollocks.
Although the action taken the second time might be the same as the first time, the circumstances affecting the outcome are always different, as all the actors involved have experienced the consequences of this action the first time and will thus be better prepared to deal with the situation. So the thing done is the same, but the outcome may rationally be expected to be different, as the second time everyone involved has been informed and influenced by the thing being done the first time.
Outcome: victory, as opposed to a draw that felt like defeat. May the theory "insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result" be cast to the darkest depths of online lists of Quotes Misattributed to Einstein.
Why ? Not pulled a fetlock again ?I wasn't even playing
