Popular Post berkshirebear 2,771 Posted August 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2019 That game was crying out for Jones after 60-70 minutes were his pace could have been a massive weapon, why doesnt SG seem to like using his subs. I think it cost us massively last year and he doesn't seem to be learning. Will it cost us this year as well?? I'm loving what he's done to the club in terms of standards etc so don't mean to be too critical, but just failing to see his plan with subs!!

GA1972 9,551 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Something Walter Smith used to do a lot, things weren’t going wrong as such so Gerrard didn’t change anything which he’s done a few times in similar situations to tonight’s game. Would like us to be more pro active but he was obviously happy with the 0-0 tonight Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think both arfield and ojo needed it but can see why he didn't Your threads have been suspect to say the least Essandoh, willygers4life, billscott and 20 others 23 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertN 390 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Changing a winger surely would not destroy the shape that much ? Three minutes to go time wasting is not a good use of the subs bench in my opinion berkshirebear, JCDBigBear and Bears 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendofCoop 17,273 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 The most obvious one was Jones for Ojo. However, it's really hard to get up to match speed in a game like that. Had we already scored, I think Jones would have been on. However, it was also clear both teams had the measure of each other and cancelled each others threats out. I think SG in particular probably was happier of the two with a 0-0....especially away. Had he made changes and we had lost, wouldn't have gone down too well. Eitehr way he was going to be criticised. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 No matter the timing, a sub can slow down the team tempo and disrupt the whole team pattern, especially when it is a high pace intensive game, and one mistake could be crucial.

berkshirebear 2,771 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Not sure 0-0 is such a great result with the away goals rule to be honest. GlasgowRangersFC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsden bear 2,376 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I wanted Jones on myself last 20. Ojo was knackered and Arfield doesnt have the legs to run away from anyone. There was more space to operate in late in the game. To be fair we had fell out the game by them and didnt look like scoring. An away goal would pretty much have got us one foot in the group stages. I understand he didnt want to lose a goal but changing a wide player wouldnt have made us defensively weaker imo.

If anything Jones would’ve made us a bit more solid defensively, Ojo barely tracks when he has energy never mind when he was shattered berkshirebear, JCDBigBear, SasaPapacLoyal and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denton 15 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Both Arfield and Ojo not great this evening. I’d have brought Jones on. But we were keeping it tight for the draw. GA1972 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,806 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Making no subs ( until late ) was the right choice and 0-0 is not a bad result. I swear lots of posters never played the game. Bobby Hume, WATP-FOREVER and rbt1548 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

orange&blue92 1,284 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Warburton made subs at the 60th every game, no matter the situation.

We looked spent and were hanging on for a 0-0 at best. In the end 0-0 is a good result but imo we looked a poorer team in the 2nd half and barely threatened. berkshirebear, GA1972, ElBufalo20 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
