    Two strikers on the bench and 3-1 down...at what stage of the game would you

    Bring on a striker and who would you take off?

    I bet that not a single person would use Warney's Saturday strategy.

    Tell ya what I wouldn't have done kempoo. Take ball off for Yates. We need goals and sub like for like. Shocking..

    I would have taken ball and potter off and put Yates and JCH up front switching to long balls from back to a forward 3

    Ball didn't look anymore knackered then the other players

    Moore should have been subbed, Towell move up front and Williams on wing for the first sub

    I'm thinking JCH wasn't up to it or Warney would have surely put him on in front of Yates

    I either need to update (for the millionth time) or a new iPad, words appear on here I don't put

    Towell up front? I said at half time Vaulks on for any of our midfielders. Williams for Forde. JCH been ill so that's why Yates got on I presume. Can't understand why Wiles wasn't on the bench.

    I wouldn't have brought any striker on,.
    David Ball only had 9/10mins to complete, maybe he didn't want him getting injured and saving him for Saturday.

    Williams was stripped off ready to come on before the 3rd goal went in.

    Williams for Frecks
    Vaulks for Potter
    Newell for Forde
    Leaving....

    Rodak
    Cummings
    Icky
    Wood
    Mattock

    Williams
    Towell
    Vaulks
    Newell

    Ball
    Moore

    He may have taken Towell off because he took a yellow card just after half-time, save him getting another.
    Didn't matter anyway the game was over at 3-1.
    Can't recall them coming back to win when they're behind.

    There's an eigh**** year old at North Ferriby United, and he has been a major part in their meteoric slump to 22nd in the National League North, the sixth tier of English football. Despite his tender age, he has already started five games this season (out of 19) and even scored a goal. Surely worth a £2,000,000 punt, which is, after all, peanuts these days.

    Get yer wallet out Tone.

    That’s an expensive punt, you can get a decent cabin cruiser for that money.

    Same reason as JCH (wasn't up to it) maybe why Newell wasn't coming on either
