new eagle 10 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Just before half time goian came over to the touchline for treatment, after the usual sponge and a spray, he turned around to go back on , only to find he had been subbed!, about 30sec later, half time whistles blows, I thought we were to hasty to sub him , especially when you saw the mixups in the second half, could have been costly!,..... Thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinGers93 388 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Aye I thought he was trying to get back on aswell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We got the 3 points so maybe the right decision was made not to risk him in the second half but like you say, it could've been costly. Just hope the international break will do him the world of good Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_gazza 1,065 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I turned round to my mate & said the exact same thing.Why we never gave him untill after half time i don't know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac9 2,060 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yet we let Naismith hobble about for the rest of the game when he was clearly struggling and we bring on Bedoya when he was ill and coughing up blood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowP113 2 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I think it was a good sub tbh, why risk him getting injured more? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogbg 20 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Saw that too. Maybe it was a bit hasty but I'm fairly sure they'd have hooked him at half time anyway with his history.Sounds like Naismith should have been subbed, but regarding Bedoya, he wasn't coughing blood before he came on. He just said he was right at the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I think we made the right decsion.Goian doesn't have the best history for injuries so it's better we didn't aggravate his injury more. Take him off before the break so you can give your back 4 decent orders at the break and get Goian in an early bath and assessed that bit quicker.

caseyjones 3,009 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Sure, it could have been costly to take him off, but there's an argument that it would have been even costlier to leave him on. Say he goes back on, aggravates the injury, and doubles the recovery period- then what?The point being made is that it would have been sensible to assess the injury during the half-time break, which was seconds away, before making any change.

DougieGers 26 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I understanding the idea of resting him so he doesnt aggrevate the injury but it would have been more sensible to leave it till half time and spend more time to assess the injury Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbroxBurnzy 484 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 This puzzled me as well? I was sitting about twenty yards away and could see him moving over to the bench fine so knew it wasn't too serious he then mouths don't make the sub and was told, too late he's already on which left Goian shaking his head!!another 30 secs it was half time?why not wait instead of reshuffling??

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Looking back, it would probably have been more sensible to close out the last seconds of the half with 10 men, then check Goian out at half time.Unless we lost a goal with 10 men then mccoist would be even more slaughtered. Dammed if he does dammed if he doesn't Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
