A day for the subs

Post by ablueclaret » Sat Apr 08, 2017 8:36 am

Hoping SD is proactive today and goes for the win which would pretty much secure us another season at this level.
The old adage that the most certain way to lose a match is to play for a draw applies, and we have enough strength on the bench to make telling changes to a match.
So here's hoping for substitute Sean making those telling interjections which get that albatross from around our neck and an away victory to savour.

Being Proactive got us a 2-0 defeat against spurs, can't see it happening again, back to being cautious with substitutions i think.

Proactive got us beat 2-0 against spurs?

Either you didn't go the game, or you have the meaning of proactive wrong.

Proactive - making a change when the opposition does something.

Reactive - forcing the opposition into something different.

The UTC dictionary.

Forgive me I must have been mistaken, could have sworn Andre was subbed after 55 mins.

There's a difference in only having 3 strikers, one of whom got injured.

You can play for a draw and get one, the classic example.
