TeaCider24 12,401 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) I don't agree with it coming back, but I hope Warnock utilises it and rotates. 2 matches a week for the foreseeable, we've still got a small squad. Browne should be getting a chance, as should Roberts. Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I think in these times with not having a full down season and no proper pre- season we are seeing a lot more muscular injuries (certainly in the premier league) And regardless of what people think about what teams benefit most from it, the main concern has to be the safety of the players.

Just imo I don't think the substitutes particularly help that. Just start different players if they need to avoid injuries. Klopp was raging about Alexander-Arnold getting injured, but he played the full 90 in every match up till that injury. He only came off in the match in question because of the injury. He played virtually every minute in the 5 sub period last season too, unless the result was already assured. From our own perspective, I don't think Warnock used 5 substitutes even once during the tail end of last season. He's not using 3 now. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I dont think its going to really help us with our squad size and the way its been managed so far. The question more becomes whether other clubs use it to good effect and gain an advantage over us. Link to post Share on other sites

Some clubs have these huge squads but are unwilling to use some of the players unless they absolutely have to or they come to a game that either doesn't matter much or they feel it should be an easy one. I mean you're talking about full international players here not inexperienced kids. Rotate your big bloody squads and your players won't be as tired/at risk of injuries.

TeaCider24 12,401 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) I'd rest McNair on Saturday. Arguably our best player this season but he'll be close to burnout and I'd sooner he was ready to hopefully put Derby to the sword. Gives Hall or Wood a chance to get some more game time, it'll be a tough game regardless. Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,218 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Could be without Saville as well. Link to post Share on other sites

But I suppose it depends on the condition he's returning in. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Warnock's just said on TalkSPORT that he doesn't think 5 substitutes will benefit us at all, because of the limited numbers in our squad. As expected. Link to post Share on other sites
