[Albion] Potter’s Subs Today

[Jim Van Winkle]

He got them spot on today and earned his money. Montoya and Mooy off. Schelotto and March on. They dominated the right hand side when they came on. March nearly winning it with his free kick near the end.

Also, we were lucky Antonio could only play 70 minutes. He was having a blinder.

I thought “here we have two players coming on who will not change the game” that’s why I’m not the manager. They gave us width, quality and forward momentum. Huge success.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Absolutely. Like most I thought he’d gone mad but he got it spot on and proved us all wrong.

2nd game in a row March has come on and made a difference, hope he starts next week.

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

The majority of managers would have brought on two strikers. He definitely showed some thoughtfulness and tactical awareness that the average spectator (me included) does not see.

Massive groans in the away end when they were made

No disrespect to The Greyhound, he was amazing when he came on, but can you imagine the damage the new lad Lamptey would have caused them if he came on ?

 

[GT49er]

The substitutions worked. F*** knows how or why!

Is that partly an anti Solly thing? Some fans seem to slag him off at every opportunity this season.

Never bet against the greyhound .
Cos you just never know

The only you you can predict is the unpredictable! Opponents never know what to expect !

I’m glad he is still with us

 

[Albion Dan]

Me and almost everyone around me thought Potter had lost the plot but it did work. Solly was excellent and Schelotto bought pace and width. He’s still incredibly poor at controlling a football though.

Well my take on it was:

- Mooy wasn’t playing well but makes things happen
- the Greyhound was shit against Wednesday so why would today be any different
- Solly hasn’t played/played well since the first few weeks of the season
- we’d gone like for like rather than change it
- Our top goalscorer was staying on the bench

I couldn’t see how it was going to change anything, but the injection of pace and directness certainly did

4D chess.

March was very good. Mooy too slow and immobile today.

Ha ha exactly my thoughts.....i was doom and gloom and thought GP had lost the plot. That's why we love football though, you never can predict what will happen for sure. Maybe the game to install some confidence.

Have to agree. I was absolutely bemused when I saw who was coming on & was shouting obcenities at the TV. He got it absolutely spot on tactically & proves how little the majority of us know about the inner workings of top flight football management.

I bet absolutely nobody on here would of predicted the subs & how it completely changed the game with our domination on right hand side. Massive respect for Potter on this one.

The subs worked and I have no idea why! Well done GP for seeing something that fee others did!!

 

[SollysLeftFoot]

I’ll put my hands up and say they were spot on, I was baffled but clearly I’m just an observer who has clue.

Brilliant result.

Agreed

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

I burst out laughing, not because I don't rate those players (although I was surprised) but I just knew what the reaction on here would be. Fair play to GP. Schelotto pushed them back and Solly was strong and direct through the middle. Definitely game changers
