The Lack of Good Options from the Bench


Recommended Posts

Against Hamilton Murty brought on Nemane in the 88th minute. I have no idea what he thought he could do in a few minutes except waste our valuable time. Even if he took off a defender and stuck an extra man up front I may have some understanding of it but he took off Windass.

 

Agreed. Murty seems to lack the knowledge of how to change games - either from a neutral or negative position.

If a club has a clear strategy, is well run and well organised, it is much more likely they'll get more out of the loan system.

 

Warburton, who was organised and effective when he arrived at Ibrox, seemed to have a clearer idea of what he wanted out of the loan system and got a reasonable return.

 

Caixinha, who had a great deal on his plate at the time of squad reorganisation didn't do so well in this market and Mark Allen, who arrived in mid June seemed to help bring in Nemane and John.

 

TBF, it'll be much more difficult for any player to come in and do a job under current circumstances......although if they have something about them, it shouldn't be.........

But if they have something about them, maybe they wouldn't be getting loaned out.

 

If they haven't got 'something about them', why borrow in the first place?

 

The only reason I can see for hiring Dalcio is Caixinha doing a favour to someone, possibly to oil the wheels of another's permanent move...

Nemane seems unnecessary.

 

Declan John has, at least, played, and seems fair.

If you look back at his first spell as caretaker and how he used subs, it almost shows a reluctance to change from whatever his original plan was.

 

Groundhog day

 

First 2-1 defeat against Dundee saw a forced first half change, Wilson for Hill (injury)...

We were 2-0 down after 41 minutes, O'Hara with the first.

We pulled a goal back in 67 mins...

.. then 2 subs on 78 mins Forrester for McKay and Holt for Halliday.

(IIRC in that quarter of an hour, Forrester reminded me of Pena against Hamilton, ie. looked like he was on a mission to get a red card).

 

The week after in the ICT defeat, he only used 2 subs in the 80 and the 92nd minutes.

Then it was St.Johnstone (better placed team than Dundee or ICT) in a midweek game at Ibrox to try and avoid 3 defeats IAR...and we won with an injury time winner.

Contrast to Pedro's first game in charge......3 HT subs :shock:
