So we still have a manager who sticks to triple substitutions, keeping the ball with hardly any end product, and playing Adam Armstrong out wide instead of down the centre where he is most effective, and indeed made the comment that he prefers to be in a central attacking role earlier this year.
With the players they have available the should be doing a lot lot better instead of scraping wins here and there and dropping two points on several occasions already when he should have taken the game by the scruff of the neck instead of making illogical substitutions and trying to nick it with one goal. |  | |  |

Ron, we are on a better run of form than any other team in the division. I see all those managers that many said we should go for have been sacked. Cooper got sacked at Forest, he couldn't do it in the PL and Howe after spending hundreds of millions, lost to Luton. Only a matter of time.before he is sacked. Just enjoy the wins, clean sheets and record breaking run of form. After last season, I am not sure what there is to complain about! It doesn't matter who he brings on or what the subs are if we win. It's not a one off. We have the best run of form in the country. Maybe surprisingly, it's working.
I mean cheer up, it's Christmas and Saints haven't lost for months. Have a few sherries 🍷 [Post edited 24 Dec 2023 12:25]

I am sure SFC Referee will correct me if I have got this wrong, but….
I think that while we can make up to 5 subs, we can only do it over 3 separate phases.
Which may be in his thinking in terms of making triple substitutions…… |  |

Yep for all EFL and prem games that is the case. As it was to remove the issue of more time wasting when the subs were increased from 3 to 5 a while back. As you now get just 3 opportunities (outside of half-time, and the ending of regular time for any games that go to extra time) to make the subs now.
And for yesterdays game, you can completely understand why he made a triple sub seeing how he had to make an extremely early one with Bree going off injured (although I’ve always said that any subs made in the first half shouldn’t count as one of the 3), we had 4 subs left for simply 2 opportunities to do it. So it was always gonna be most likely that it was gonna be a triple sub around the hour mark, or at the very least a double one. |  |
