Three changes instead of keeping a settled side that won by two clear goals. Dropping the guy who's goal got us back into the game at the weekend. No real defensive cover on the bench, so had to play a unfit winger out of position there when Pinnilos went off.
Pinnilos should have stayed darn earlier and got physio on, Stendel was slow off mark with his replacement.
Pinillos was down longer than Stormy Daniels on Trump. People were growing Nordic beards around me, while we waited for him to get up. A replacement should have been on when the crocked one got carted off. It's always the same. They pay these footballing Gods and their staff a weekly wage that is equivalent to your entire pension pot, and then can't get a sub on because he needs sticking tape on his gold earring, needs to put a football shirt on, and to have his bootlaces tied by someone else cos he's got thermal gloves on. Meanwhile, the team's let a goal in.
It's very odd. It's not restricted to Barnsley, it's throughout football, and we have taken advantage of other teams failing to bring on a sub in a timely manner. It's beyond my understanding. All 7 substitutes should be ready to enter the field of play within seconds, right from the kick off.
Was odd we allowed Plymouth to waste time when we wanted a winner. When their lad was taking forever to get off, we should have saved our own time by getting word to Thiam that he would be coming off, so he could get nearer the dugout for when the 4th official showed his number.
