Why only 5 subs?

For the game at Hull??

If we can name 7 why not give even a really young lad a place there?

Just the experience of being with the squad is surely worth it?

Not sure if we have anyone else registered for th competition

i reckon we're buggered if it goes to ET, those three young uns won't be worth bringing on even for fresh legs, they probably played for the reserves last night!!

It really annoys me. It's like a tacit admission that we're the weaker side before a ball has even been kicked.

It pisses me off when any team do it. Stop attention seeking - 'ooh, look at poor us, we can't even name a full bench, sob sob' - no one else cares. Just get some arses on the bench.

My thoughts as well. I dont know why KB does it! Would'nt it be good for young players to experiance big game pressure?

Might help , we generally seem to do far better as underdogs!

According to Blackwell's interview before the match, he only named 5 subs because he feels that players should only be on the bench if they deserve to be there, not just because we are short of bodies.

Not saying I agree, but that's what he said
