I disagree.
Hooking Jander after half an hour, or indeed anyone, would shatter confidence and do nothing for squad morale. Waiting was absolutely the right thing to do.
Good management involves decent man management, not just picking players.
I'm ok with him leaving it until half time. He didn't panic, and changing when you have the players in to talk to for 15 mins is far better than throwing them in after half an hour.
Indeed. The credit is appreciating that it wasn't working, and hooking players. Larin for Bree, and the tactical tweak Duck highlighted, was superb.
The lads are playing for Tonda, and he's given our season a bit of purpose now. Fair play to him.
At least it didn't take 4 hours, have a shit concert at half time, be packed pull of ad breaks, and swapping attack for defense.
American football - crap
Soccer ball - splendid
If you didn't enjoy that second half, I'm not sure football is your sport.
American football is just slow and dull for me. An hour of the game, but dragged out over 3 1/2 hours ish, and even then, a passage of play can be a second or two.
