Davefevs Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Hopefully back to 7. 9 was too many, personally I think 7 is too. I don’t mind if they go 5 from 7 rather than 3 from 7. The increase to 9 was due to COVID and a more hectic schedule. What do others think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 I think the 5 from 7 wasn't bad as long as it sticks to 3 change windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Back to 3 subs I'd say, I wouldn't mind a rule for keeping 9 if x amount of spots had to be filled by academy players (add some rule to avoid senior players who came through academy counting) perhaps minimum 2 U23 academy players, gives players a chance to get 1st team mins where possible. If they don't play they should still be able to then drop back in and play for 23's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps more of the squad feeling in lv d which can be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoons Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 3 from 5. Puts teams on a even keel then. Some big squads with big budgets can gain advantage by naming 9 internationals on the bench. Also got to be better for players who were sat on bench to play reserve / u23 match rather than sat playing no minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's where the original logic came from for replacing a couple injuries and maybe a goalkeeper and 5 players should give limited coverage of the pitch. I guess the concern is that we may now be moving away from just wanting to replace injuries with trying to make the game better/faster through subs.

GrahamC Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 I’d presume 5 from 7 again. As has been said above with just 3 opportunities to change, though personally I’d be happy with some extra common sense here, so if a side who had only made 4 subs then suffered a serious injury that stopped the game, at the referee’s discretion they should then be able to make a final sub as the guy is stretchered off. The rule was introduced to stop the likes of Warnock making the last 5 minutes of a game simply a procession of substitutes, but in my scenario the game has already stopped anyway.

Carey 6 Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 I've not seen too much regarding it, but did come across this article. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/temporary-rule-covid-efl-scrapped-24267218 I think the 5 subs benefited relegated teams the most, I expect Norwich and Watford would've been up there regardless but with 5 subs it made it far too easy.

SecretSam Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 7 from 9 except in a Leap Year or on a day where the date is a prime number, unless the ref had cereal for breakfast. With the exception being made that if the cereal was had with non-dairy milk alternative, whereupon the match should be cancelled and replaced with hopscotch.
