We either;
Start poorly, make good subs and turn it around (like today)
OR
Start really good, make bad subs and fuck it up (like Blackpool)
Why can't we start really good, make good subs and consolidate our position? (like never)
Some players are better than others.
If we start with our best side, then bring on players who aren’t as good, then we struggle after the changes.
If we want to make ‘good subs’, then we put good players on the bench, and they don’t start the game, so the team that starts the game struggles, until the better players come on.
Seriously though, I think in some recent games we’ve filled the bench with really inexperienced players and partially fit ones.
I’d imagine if we had Berge, Ndiaye, McBurnie, Khadra, Sharpe, Brewster, Jebbison, Doyle, Fleck, Bogle, McAtee, Norwood, Lowe (and probably some I’ve forgotten) all fully fit, AND a really settled back line of Baldock, Anel, Egan, Robinson, RND … then you’d expect the impact of our subs to be a major asset.
You’re right though that at the moment, they definitely aren’t (apart from the one game where we started with our two top scorers on the bench).
