Entertaining yes, but hardly conducive to winning football matches."Isaac" wrote:oh yeah, and the main reason for not having a goalkeeper on the bench is it's entertaining when a player goes in goal. Didn't Scott McNiven do it for us a while ago - and Mike Ford?
And Billy Whitehurst against us for Hull?
Yes part of the reason for substitutes are as you have said, but also they are there in case something goes wrong. If Clarke was injured or sent-off early in a game then we are basically admitting defeat by not having a specilaist on the bench.
