[Albion] Why did CH bring on Locadia at the end?

[Nottseagull]

This decision didn't get questioned in the match thread.

I'm not questioning the actual substitution, just that a striker was brought on whilst we were still winning at the end of injury time. It's as if Chris was trying to make up for the fact that he didn't include him in the squad! Do you think he needs to be managed psychologically?

Wasting time?

100% certainty it was time wasting.

What a bizarre thing to start a thread about! The answer is pretty obvious man!

 

[Icy Gull]

Exactly what the opposition do when they are beating us by a single goal as extra time arrives

So Glenn could go off to a standing ovation from all the Palace fans?

 

[BensGrandad]

to run down the clock

Why do you think?

He replaced Ali J

 

[Dorset Seagull]

I think the OP means why a forward, not why a substitution

 

[Mr Bridger]

As above plus to keep Locadia in the loop

 

[Fungus]

But more time is added on for substitutions. Can't see how we could gain anything from it.

Sorry, my mistake, I haven’t watched it yet I was at work, only listened on the radio and now I’m heady with the joy of it all.

Why do you think?

Try reading the OP properly!

In any case most of you must be dimwits because
everybody else knows that the clock is stopped for substitutions.

Yeah ok, the clock is properly stopped for all times the ball is out of play huh?

 

[martin tyler]

My guess is he wanted to get a thread started about 1 of his decisions today on NSC and it was his last roll of the dice

No, the clock is not stopped. It's not rugby. It keeps ticking and the ref has to add an approximation on.

CH could have brought me on and we'd still have won. Daftest thread today.

He almost got sent off kicking the ball away

Probably passed you by but it breaks up any momentum the losing team are building and it is ****ING annoying if you are the side that is losing. Anything that hinders intensity is a good thing in injury time

The OP’s query? No I don’t think CH does sentimental

As others have said it’s not stopped. But there was about 20 seconds left, does it matter who came on? And also Locadia isn’t playing as a striker and came on for Ali which is where he plays. Your post is bizarre ‘dimwit’ Just enjoy the win and hope this thread falls into the 2nd page
