70 minutes (1 Viewer)

Why do we always make a change on 70? Sometimes required sooner, sometimes later, but it's almost as if the game matters less than the clock when it comes to a change.

I know we're not allowed to criticise Robins on here, without it being brought up when it works and we win a game for the following 12 months, but it's really starting to annoy me!

I thought today we were having our best spell just before the change and swapping things around for the sake of it was unnecessary and upset the balance. Sure we'd missed a hatful and Hiwula, Godden were most culpable, but we were creating, never looked in any danger and im sure if we'd persevered we may have had a different outcome.

With the benefit of hindsight you could argue this wouldn't be here had it worked, but I called it at the time and not the first occasion.

We have always made changes at certain times regardless of what's going on.

Last season it was usual JCH on around 64 minutes either coming on or going off.

I agree, not sure we needed to make a change and I would have kept Hiwula on, as you say he missed some glorious chances but he also makes some brilliant runs with his movement to create space and get the chances in the first place. Personally would have probably taken Westbrooke off (thought he had a very good game but was starting to tire) for Kastaneer, allowing O'Hare to drop back more centrally.

Also found it odd that McCallum started over Mason. Could be he cynic in me, but I wonder if that had anything to do with the game being on Sky and a potential shop window opportunity given the interest that's been reported in him?

Pretty sure Scouts don't need a game to be on Sky.

Robins sees them train daily maybe mason has had an off week the first goal last week he didn’t do enough to stop the cross,I thought McCallum played well yesterday for me he’s got massive potential & will go on to play at a higher level he also has that long throw which mason doesn’t have & the added height.
