Reckon he's given up on the game with those subs... Playing for the weekend...

Cos he's just back from a long lay off. 

This is a one off game. Worth risking

Those subs have cost us the game.

They spent £35m on Barnes alone. 

[Mercer]

Hope I'm wrong but poor substitutions which will cost us game.

[Rover_in_the_South]

After 60 mins to be proud of comes those subs 😕

[roverandout]

Back to the old Mowbray days. Throwing the cup games

[RevidgeBlue]

Quite bizarre substitutions. The best two players taken off. Throwing the game?

That's a bizarre set of changes... Buckley has been our best player. Dolan and Moran have also been doing well.

With a nod to Saturday

Not really, it's not like he's had any control at all over how poor our squad is. Tony deliberately threw games in the cups.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Markanday bless him, League Two footballer 

[RevidgeBlue]

Good lad Pears.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Excellent Pears.

[joey_big_nose]

Markanday does look like hes snuck on from the under 9s

[bluebruce]

Not gonna lie, I can't figure out those subs.

Buckley has been our best player, probably the best player on the pitch actually, Moran played his best game in ages, and Dolan has been a nuisance. None of them should have fitness issues really. Maybe Buckley but no signs of it and hasn't been flogged lately.

[jim mk2]

Huge gulf between the clubs. There's some top quality Prem players out there tonight against some very ordinary Championship squad players. 

[roverandout]

Already look shit without Buckley 

[Blue blood]

Gutting to see those subs. Was beginning to think we were going to sneak it. 

Mind you today has given me some optimism Eustace isn't a total dud. Impressed with the set up and today's performance. 

McFadz has been immense,  very surprised he's not been the bad signing I thought he would be. In fact he's been immense. 

The subs show how ant manager is fighting with his hands tied behind his back. Totally underresourced. Criminally so

To be honest we have this issue even in Championship games, I'd argue a lot are lucky to be in the Championship.

We're starting to get battered here, all men behind the ball effort from now I imagine.

Yeah Moran and Buckley have been great - want them fresh for Swansea.

[jim mk2]

One moment of quality does it

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Only a matter of time.....

It was straight at him. Excellent is a stretch. He's been solid tonight though, looks a lot more confident than he was before the injury, good to see.

[roverandout]

Great subs u bellend
