    5 subs

    What do we think?

    To me, it smacks of the PL pandering to their darlings, the big 6. I'm sure I've only heard the likes of Klopp and Guardiola complain about the 3 subs rule.

    It's designed to favour the clubs in European competition and is a crock of shite, imo.

    It's horse****.

    It benefits the big clubs that can have better players on the bench.

    It also takes away alot of coach/tactical skill if you can change half your team.

    Absolute joke designed to support the top 6.

    Hopefully we can now be one of the BIG 6

    Maybe this will go in our favour in a few years.

    I think, as supporters we’ll be blown away by the prospective signings this next window (assuming we stay up), and not just big money buys but astute free transfers. As bollox as it is, I reckon this rule will benefit us next season.

    Yes - it’s clear to see what’s going on here.

    We're always struggling with injuries. Never know if it helps us by saving some players from being pushed to the limit.

    For now, our bench is too weak to be a tactical benefit for us.

    This for me. I think though that next season it might benefit us if we have real talent on the bench instead of those in the squad not quite good enough to start.
