4 Subs = laughing stock

Surely we had people to go on the bench even kids. What is Jones doing only picking 4 subs.

Where we Wildig, Meades, Taiwo, Commingues?

Injuries

Injuries? Rubbish.

It's Jones trying to make a point about the squad size.

Koumas, although not match fit, could easily have been put on the bench just to make up numbers. Hell, 5 minutes at the end would have aided him getting match fit...

Not to mention Jarvis, Quinn.

Seems strange to me

Big picture stuff.

Board meeting this morning with malaysians present I understand. Clearly Jones making a point his squad is too small so he can't even name a full bench.

Took a gamble that first game of season not the end of the world if result didn't go for us, whilst making sure the board back new signings.

Thought exactly the same thing, Quinn wasn't even named on the bench. Fall outs or no fall outs you can't go into a game with only 4 subs.

Exactly how are you supposed to get match fit without playing part the match :lol:

Only 3 can come on anyway and given there is enough versatility on the bench and team to absorb all bar the most unfortunate series of injuries in the game I see no point in naming players for the sale of it. O said to my mate about this before the game highlighting the only real possible problem would be if 3 centre halves got injured for example, quickly adding that would probably help us more than hinder us...
