Impact Players.

[ericofarabia]

Love this phrase from Nige - not 2nd rate substitutes warming their ar5es on the bench - but players with the ability to change things around if a change of direction is needed.

 

Stattos out there I'd love to know (and way to lazy to do it myself!!) just how many of his impact changes have scored after coming on - it seems like a bloody lot to me, or maybe it just gets hyped up?

 

SDR already a couple of times this season, Lala in LC and of course the magnificent input from Forte V Francaise last year quickly spring to my addled mind, but it seems nearly every week they have made a difference.

 

Compare that with the distinct lack of willingness to change things around by previous managers.

 

Discuss etc.

Was a thread on here a week or two ago showing the subs that had scored after coming on

Off top of my head

Lambert vs Swindon

Lallana vs Preston

Schneiderlin vs Burnley

Chaplow vs Birmingham

Holmes vs Watford

De Ridder vs Cardiff

De Ridder vs Reading

 

Anymore? League and cup weve played what 16 games? so 7 goals from subs is pretty impressive

I think I posted that thread..and the two highlighted games were League Cup matches, but you forgot " Jonno" Forte who came on and scored in the L. Cup tie v. Torquay.

Nice isn't it. Gone are the days when the sub. comes on to make up the numbers, but can actually become a match-winner.
