Bench Rotation and BA

Posted by Frank The Tank on June 8, 2015 at 8:48pm

Can someone please explain to me how BA can choose 4 subs and only use 2 up until the 70th?

The Cowboys have been down numerically since early in the 1st half but for some reason BA thought we could win with only 15 men. Why not use our bench to conserve energy and to give the two young guys some game time. Its as obvious as the nose on BA`s face that the guys were tiring badly in the 60th minute.

BA`s poor use of the bench has yet again cost us a game when we should've been finishing all over the Cowboys.

I've got some serious concerns about BA and games like these just emphasise his inexperience and poor tactics.

No doubt rotation is BA's achilles heal, he's really struggling to use the bench he picks to any sort of effect.

Alvaro on for 55 seconds. What a joke! They carved us up when our middle was tired. PP on for about 8 minutes too. F me.

im dumbfounded in BA to be honest, none of this makes any footballing sense?

Why put Alvaro on 79th minute. Our backrowers were huge in the 1st 40 but both tired badly in the 2nd half. Both Maui and Tepai needed a rest but BA can't see this until the 7th minute.

Totally agree I was just about to put a similar more expletive laden blog myself. Ffs was BA the only person there that saw our forwards tiring??? I could even understand after 1 maybe 2 tries holding them back but even then he still didn't play them. I think Álvaro played 1 minute!!!!! Even when mannah went down still no!!!

  That Alvaro will be feeling soooo confident when he gets a proper run - not
