Strength from the bench making a difference.

Seemed to be a fair few games last season when it was pretty level, the other team made subs and we lost.

Last few games, our bench has made a real difference. In 2019 league games, 

Today. 1-0 down when Desilva comes on at 45 and Taylor at 66. Win. +3pts

Blackburn, 0-0, two subs 73mins, win. +2pts

Swansea, 3 second half subs, no change to winning result

Forest 0-0, Palmer comes on, win 1-0. +2pts

Bolton, 0-1, make 3 subs on 61 mins, win 2-1. +3pts

Stoke, 3 subs, do not affect the result.

Both sides are making subs, but this year we are ‘winning’ the sub battle as it were, gaining 10 of our 18 points in 2019, after the subs have been made. A key difference since last year.
