I'd like to see the stats for all teams using 5 subs regularly, but anecdotally I've noticed a big reduction in injuries across our squad this year. If the stats support that then the 5 sub rule should be staying. Anything that genuinely benefits player welfare is a huge plus for me.
So to be clear the Story is: “Journalist who follows the Premier League criticises Championship Club who follow the Rules.” Yep, perfectly understandable. All Reds fans should just shut up and be grateful.
Maybe we wouldn't need to use 5 subs to keep the intensity levels high if the schedule wasn't so manic.
