Dastardly and Muttley Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Don’t know why Semenyo was brought on ahead of Rodri. Surely Rodri was more the type of player needed then. Maybe Moore was carrying a knock, giving the benefit of the doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockers96 Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Was just about to post something similar. Johnson tends to just make throwaway subs for the sake of it. I dont know why Taylor Moore has to come off all the time, we look better at the back when he plays. Think he might be somewhat of an easy target, but I bet Johnson will make something up like he had a knock. We also would've benefited from using subs at the end of the game to slow it down and waste time like every other top team does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohhhshauntaylor Posted November 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 IF Moore had a knock (I don’t think it looked like he did- he may of) then ok with baker. but surely save 1 more until 75/80 mins and then it’s Palmer for me to keep the ball or Rodri.

petehinton Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 LJ really loves shaking shit up for no reason at times doesn’t he. Making subs for the sake of it. Why oh why you change your defensive line up if it’s not injury-related, god only knows. Also left Palmer off who would’ve totally taken the sting out the game. Forced into a sub, Eliasson changed the game. The subs in the second half cost us the game Imo if Moore coming off wasn’t because he was injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 I hope for his sake that Moore was injured. I bet he wasn't though. Watkins coming off made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Semenyo ahead of Rodri or Palmer, baffling. The lad needs to be loaned out, nowhere near ready for this level. As for Moore, I have no idea why he’s the sacrificial lamb. One of our best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh1t_ref_again Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 I said in a thread after the last game Semenyo should not even get on the bench, although he was better tonight - he should still not get on the bench, nowhere near this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins understandable given his lack of game time- Semenyo is evidently no where near ready for this, and certainly not one who looks up for the fight of holding it up etc. bizarre.

Shtanley Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Semenyo and Palmer for Watkins and COD/Massengo would've made perfect sense. Waste of a sub bringing on Baker in hindsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Rodri for Watkins and Palmer for O’Dowda. Pretty easy. But no, try and be clever. Poor, very poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Bladder Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Quote We had just gone 2-0 up. No need for the subs at that point. Save them for later to slow the game down. That's what other teams do. Yeah, double subs if chasing the game, but we were not in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Downs Leeds Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Palmer for Watkins I would have gone. Push O'Dowda to right side of midfield in front of Pereira, who positionally was dreadful for the last 10 mins or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prinny Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Both are perfectly logical and reasonable. Baker to help deal with the long balls and throws coming in. Semenyo to provide energy and an outlet up front when Watkins had stopped doing that. People are going to search for reasons why we conceded, and why we were bad, it wasn't subs. We weren't good before the subs either. It was marking at a corner, letting a giant centre back have a free run into the box. That's not substitutions. That's awful game planning or a lack of communication. And it was a lack of quality throughout the team. We couldn't retain possession, create chances, or see out a two goal lead against the worst team in the league. That's not substitutions either.

Offside Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 We got worse after the subs. Watkins had battled well but was tiring. I was surprised, though, that Rodri wasn’t brought on - based on what I’ve seen of him he can hold the ball up well and that is something we definitely needed. Semenyo has been struggling and offered little again. Not sure why Taylor Moore was taken off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakoe Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 I thought it was odd at the time. The ball had just hit the back of the net and we continue with the subs? Surely you'd give it at least 5 to reassess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t HAVE to come on tho..... Rodri did more hold up play and had more effect on a game in the 110 odd mins he’s played for us- he was the one who should of replaced Watkins IMO.

I do agree with your point that we were'nt good before the subs though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityCiderEd Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Semenyo is miles away from being ready at this level and in this game was a waste of a sub. He is not a out and out striker and his ball retention is awful. The game was crying out for someone to keep hold of it so Rodri/Palmer would have been the better choice. I still can't get why LJ decided to make a double sub when we've gone 2 up.....bizarre imo. We lost our shape almost immediately and handed the initiative straight back to them and gave them a way back into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
