manina-pub Posted 12 November, 2012 Share Posted 12 November, 2012 Not a dig at our manager but a general observation... I noticed on Saturday at half time that all the Saints substitutes were on the pitch kicking balls about and generally chatting to each other - whereas as only 2 of the Swansea lads were on the pitch. This got me to thinking that the remainder of the Swansea subs were in the changing rooms listening to the team talk and tactics ? Just wondered what is the best system ? a) Listen to the gaffers team talk & tactics b) Kick a ball about Must admit I favour the first option....

Saint Charlie Posted 12 November, 2012 Share Posted 12 November, 2012 Would rather they were loosened up and ready to play. Besides from what you hear there isn't a huge amount of tactical chat that happens at HT and certainly nothing the Manager can't tell the player before he comes on.

trousers Posted 12 November, 2012 Share Posted 12 November, 2012 I had the same thought as the OP. First time I've seen an opposition team keep their subs in the dressing room at half time I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainchris Posted 12 November, 2012 Share Posted 12 November, 2012 Subs should be listening to every detail discussed at half time. Every piece of information is vital to winning a game..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 12 November, 2012 Share Posted 12 November, 2012 Subs should be listening to every detail discussed at half time. Every piece of information is vital to winning a game..... The idea of bringing a sub on (unless to replace an injured player) is to change the game somewhat, often tactically. So previous tactics kind of go out of the window; the manager and coaches will have more than enough time to relay to the player coming on what is expected of him once he is introduced.

Gemmel Posted 12 November, 2012 Share Posted 12 November, 2012 This came from a s****horpe player who said it was every game without exception, but no idea if he still does it downhere for half times; First five minutes - Total silence and reflection on the first 45 mins Second five minutes - Players have their say, on the game, what has / hasn't worked well Thrid five mins - All Nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
