stupid subs window rule

Oh, I see. I don't understand that at all

 

[dachshund]

I'm cracking a can. Up the f in toffees.

Same here. Second weekend in a row not ruined by Everton. Bliss.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Cracking game from Gueye especially when down to ten men

 

[Miked1e]

Great result. Jake o brien a monster again…. Had all their players in his back pocket all day.

That Minteh is poor… very glad we didn’t get him in the summer

Brilliant win slightly sullied by DCL injury

 

[ChesterBlue]

So Wolves had a new manager bounce where they got 7 in 3 against 3 teams that were absolutely falling apart. I wonder how many people who did the "maybe Vitor Pereira isn't that bad" bit at that point have noticed that his only win in 2025 was against Bristol, and he has no points at all since new year.

Wild appointment in a relegation battle that. Hasn’t done a full season in a top league in over a decade (possibly ever, depending on your view of the Portuguese league)

 

[Frenk]

It's a fact. Where does the sarcasm come in?

 

[welshtoffee]

I'm very confused, I only counted 4 subs. Did I miss one? Why did we finish with 10 men?

In football, the current rule allows teams to make a maximum of five substitutions during a match, but they can only be made on three separate occasions. Moyes made 4 subs on 3 occasions

 

[stretford blue]

Vardy wouldn’t finish a game then if they are going to enforce that

I know exactly the ref was one prized whopper

 

[RomanReigns]

how does gueye perform like that in the best league in the world at the age of 35

surely his legs would be gone by now

 

[rochdaleblue]

Well done blues. More a dyche type performance, but the difference was we hung on. The only dampener on today was the injuries. Our squad was always thin, but now it’s thread bare.

 

[Vintage]

This feels a more satisfying win than the Spurs one

 

[Bob Latchford]

How did we play?

Defensive - very solid indeed.

Provided the occasional threat in the first half and nothing much in the second.

Once we got the goal we shut up shop but it was extremely effective.

O’Brien was very good again on the right with the whole defence rock solid and a very special mention for Gana who was excellent in midfield.

 

[Smurph]

Vardy wouldn’t finish a game then if they are going to enforce that

Or frankly, a whole host of players every week. Utterly bonkers booking. But he gave he pen he spent 5 mins trying to figure out a way not to so swings and roundabouts.

 

[Runub]

This three substitution slots in a game could have cost us. No idea why that was brought in. Seems ridiculous
