That aside, fookin ace night If that was King we'd be slating his naivity Title: Bench Post by: townendjim on Wednesday, August 9, 2006, 09:28:30 smith was on the bench wasn't he?
Title: Bench Post by: Doore on Wednesday, August 9, 2006, 09:29:59 No, bench was Fola, Brownlie, Lukas, Williams, Evans.
Title: Bench Post by: townendjim on Wednesday, August 9, 2006, 09:31:51 oh right, my bad.

Title: Bench Post by: Piemonte on Wednesday, August 9, 2006, 09:59:36 I like it. I do it on FM2006 all the time.
Makes sense to have the attacking options on the bench for a home game, although not having a keeper on the bench is obviously always a gamble. Title: Bench Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, August 9, 2006, 10:00:22 A number of teams have gone down the 5 outfield player road. Doesn't Warnock swear by it? or am I thinking of another Manager.
Just think how often a sub keeper has ever been needed.....I suppose you base the risk on that %.

But then he thinks a suit will help calm him down, so the less said about his methods the better methinks! Title: Bench Post by: reeves4england on Wednesday, August 9, 2006, 16:59:10 I think 5 outfield players is probably a good idea. It allows a lot more options and the chance of needing a sub keeper is probably something like 1 in 100!
Title: Bench Post by: Frigby Daser on Wednesday, August 9, 2006, 17:17:11 I reckon on average you'll need a sub once a season. Or about 7 times if Bart Griemink's in goal.
I suppose there is a case for it - last night even - Brownlie was Smith's bench replacement! remember when we played Pompey and Iffy took out Aaron Flahavan (poor bloke, RIP)...anyway, their midfielder Jeff Peron played a full half in goal and we didn't even have a shot on target. Hilarious looking back... |
