Harry Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 The biggest issue with the Tanner one, was that he was hauled for NEARLY gifting West Brom a goal with a shoddy back pass, only for his replacement (Simpson), to be even worse and ACTUALLY gift them a goal with a shoddy back pass!! 11 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair comment if he was subbed for one mistake rather than his overall performance to that point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I've been impressed by the way Pearson usually (not 100% of the time) makes subs in a timely manner and how willing he is to hook off a player who is having a 'mare. I'd love a quid every time I was sitting at a match waiting for Lee Johnson to make some obvious change. I think he thought tactical substitution was illegal before the 65th minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRoss Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I actually thought it was unfair on Tanner when he got pulled. Until that mistake he was doing okay from memory. I think in Nigels mind he was saving him. Then we had to put up with Simpson the remainder of the game which was to our detriment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar that shocking backpass, tin hat on, I actually thought Simpson did okay. Nothing great, but he got physical, got his foot in. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nige, like all managers know that young and inexperienced players are more likely to make mistakes and I seriously doubt that was why he was subbed.

Sometimes I reckon they prolong games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of actual game management, I often think running it down the other end and having a pop at goal is usually better than trying to hold it in the corner. A) We don't have that many players good enough at close control to hold it in the corner. They lose it then a counter-attack happens with them stranded, facing the wrong way. B) Goal kicks usually waste more time and at this juncture of the match are inevitably taken long giving you a 50/50 chance of winning the ball. C ) You never know, you might score!

nickolas Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I loved the Dinning one at Luton years ago. You could tell he was pissed off, and he got a great send off from us at about the 30 minute mark when he was pulled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Top managers are ruthless in this day and age - I recall Mourinho making three first half subs in one game when Chelsea manager and Conte hooked Sessegnon after 26 minutes (?) in Spurs’ last game ...
