Why didn’t Wilder send Holding on immediately do that they don’t score. Poor decision along with a few more

Holding... the FA cup winner... we don't need someone like that in a big game like this.

Get Seriki on.

They had already scored when Seriki entered the pitch.

Agreed, Watson ran into the space left by Souza having to fill in the back four.

We did the same with Brereton-Diaz, he was obviously done but we played another phase of play with 10 men before getting a sub on.

Rob has been criminally underused, better than Robbo on every level, except Bladeyness. Which probably explains it

Why have Holding when you can have Robbo

 

[Selly]

Frankly though the game needs to stop off there is the suggestion of a concussion.

If player safety is the aim here, you can't have a team disadvantaged whilst the concussion checks are ongoing. Otherwise they will end up sending the player back on without completing the checks.

For me that means that the checks need to be made and any replacement is on the pitch before we restart the game.

That's not to say we couldn't have got Holding on however. But we shouldn't have to rush.

Commentator in Norway said there can be an extra sub in the case of concussion. True or not?

Which is why he's done absolutely fuck all for years. What a pro.

True. Seriki for Ahmedhozic was our sixth sub.

1 Brooks for Brewster
2 O’Hare for Campbell
3 Brereton Diaz for Hamer
4 Davies for Peck
5 Cannon for Brereton Diaz
6 Seriki for Ahmedhodzic

Negative, that's because he had a serious falling out with Glasner and stuck to his principles over it. Not the first or the last, see Winston Bogarde for example

It's a very fair question. Can only assume he had to fail a concussion test first? 6th sub right?

 

[AWetFlannel]

So rather than that making him a bad pro, it makes him principled? Not that he was doing more than being a reserve for Arsenal for years before that...

 

[Selly]

Can only assume he had to fail a concussion test first?

And those is my point. If that's the case then we were disadvantaged by a completely necessary player safety check.

We should have got Holding on. But we shouldn't have had to restart until we had got him on.

Arguing with an Arsenal fan here, he was the great hope for a long time. He just didn't have the pace for us, unfortunately. Still a two time FA cup winner, so calling him a reserve is a little harsh, 98 games
Never the same after his cruciate injury

Well, if he was the great hope for you during your lowest ebb in my lifetime, he must be our best player.

He just needs regular football

Arsenal tend not to hang on to players for that long if they don't feel they are worthy enough to play a part.

We have underused Holding when we needed his experience the most like yesterday. The man's a winner at Wembley regardless of how often Arsenal called upon him.

Another fuckup from Wilder.

And Rian Brewster is a champions League winner.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

I wonder if the delay was because nobody was sure if the concussion sub and we had used our others?

Otherwise it was very obvious he wasn't going to carry on

To be fair, he was down long enough with a head injury for someone to ask the 4th official what the situation was.
And the physios & bench are in contact via headsets aren’t they so should have suggested immediate concussion sub.

 

[Selly]

This is my point. We HAD used all 5 of our subs at that point and our player went down injured.

Now the purpose of the concussion sub is player safety. To ensure that players aren't playing on with a potentially serious head injury.

If you are being true to that then you CANNOT disadvantage team in any way otherwise you leave the option open for them to send the player back on rather than play with10 men likewehad to.

Is that right by the club. No. But it's a results business and we already know that clubs will try and gain any advantage and eradicate any disadvantage.

So if the ref insisted on the game restarting that is, in my view, wrong. It may be in the rules today but the rules need changing.

If we can take 8 mins to look at a VAR decision as in todays L1PO final then surely we can wait for a concussion check to be completed before restarting?

It was compounded by the Ref telling them to go off behind the goal. Any other team and they would have walked off towards the dugout across the pitch giving time for the concussion sub discussion and putting Holding on.
