It's a simplistic way of looking at things though ...

Played ten won 6 drawn 2 lost 2 the only thing that counts really.

Ultimately we didn't have the quality to change things too much in the prem and because of the generally positive results this season most substitutions have been made with a view to protecting what we have.

The attacking substitutions I.e Pritchard for tettey albeit enforced don't always work either.

Many of lamberts substitutions would have come when either drawing or losing a game. Fortunately we haven't found ourselves in that position too often.

AN is far from perfect but you are quick to criticise and seldom quick to praise citing we are doing what we should etc etc. Well to date that's better than all the over favourites for promotion.

What would people generally expect the effect of substitutions to be on games (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 29, 09:51:24
- Out of interest ... (NCFC) - loz, Sep 29, 10:02:42
  - Well I can tell you that this season (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 29, 10:13:26
    - How many have we consolidated what we had? Like Forest? (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Sep 29, 10:26:00
      - Exactly that doesn't suit his agenda though does it (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Sep 29, 10:31:31
        
        Depends what you mean by consolidated? (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 29, 10:37:25
        
        Points (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Sep 29, 10:38:42
        
        Points exactly this (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Sep 29, 10:40:11
        
        As i said previously last night is the only time its costs us points (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 29, 10:46:57
        
        Yes, but how many points consolidated when subs been made? (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Sep 29, 10:49:45
        
        Well since we've made subs in every game and we've got 20 points presumably (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 29, 10:54:52
        
        Doesn't sound too shabby then really. 20 secured, 3 lost. (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Sep 29, 11:07:50
        
        Hardly secured. In many cases i would say jeopardised (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 29, 11:19:39
        
        Well maybe you would, but the image you're trying to create is that (NCFC) - Azteca, Sep 29, 11:28:14
        
        No I'm just saying they rarely improve us or positively impact on the game (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 29, 12:05:22
        
        He will ignore that just as he is choosing... (NCFC) - loz, Sep 29, 10:53:52
        
        And without the Mulumbu sub at Ipswich we probably win the game (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 29, 10:55:46
        
        Manager in some right some wrong shocker (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Sep 29, 10:58:30
    - It's a simplistic way of looking at things though ... (NCFC) - loz, Sep 29, 10:20:16
      - We are grinding our results without playing well I will give him that (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 29, 10:30:50
        
        So much nonsense ... (NCFC) - loz, Sep 29, 10:35:54
    - Sorry that should say underwhelming not overwhelming (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 29, 10:14:38
