Bert's City Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Could not understand the substitutions today totally disrupted the team. Feel disappointed for Burns I thought SOD would have given him a chance at 4-1 up as stead was struggling towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Albert Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Yeah, thought only one of Killa and Howard needed to come on. Lost our shape with Howard playing on the wing and Killa not doing much (add Albert to that too). That being said, thought Pearson had a very good game again.

And Its Smith Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 O'Driscoll pretty much said that he was trying something out and that the results were food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 No doubt the substitutions affected City's midfield control but fortunately the game was won by then. I wonder if O'Driscoll would have made the changes if the game had been closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 I'm a way it maybe a good thing in long run as SOD can see now that it's not a wise tactical move. Better to do it in a game where we are 5-1 up than 1-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Certainly showed us what Kelly brings to this team. Not a massive fan of Pearson but his set pieces were very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 If you hire a manager halfway through the season, he has to learn on the job. At 5-1 up seems as good a time as any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hindsight is easy. I'm sure if someone had told O'Driscoll that taking off Pearson and Kelly and bringing on Adomah and Kilkenny would have left us playing with 9 rather than the 11 we had previously he wouldn't have done it.

Red-Robbo Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Certainly showed us what Kelly brings to this team. Not a massive fan of Pearson but his set pieces were very good. Pearson had a great game today. Was busy, in control, and although he didn't win that many tackles, he panicked their rickety defence into making mistakes by charging at them. His well-thought through passing was a stark contrast to Marv's wayward efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
