Why did Sakala come off?

[Yorkhill_True_Blues]

In terms of the match I don't understand his plan.

 

[Lowrydrup]

Tried to play more in behind the defence I guess it was all through the middle or dare I say the old horseshoe. Needed changing.

 

[Govandream]

I thought it was because he was on a booking.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

I was initially surprised he brought Tillman on first sub instead of Kamara

Then that was my reaction when Sakala came off.

In terms of the match I don't understand his plan.

There was a plan ?

 

[chucknorris]

We had gone stale and did nothing the second half, we needed to try something

 

[Valley Bluenose]

I thought it was because he was on a booking.

Likewise. Same with Morelos.

Although I'm sure he wants Colak to build up some fitness again and he had mentioned through the week that Wright was flying in training.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Because Beale subbed him.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

From 18 attempts on goal first half to just 8 in the entirety of the second half. So, yeah, that's probably a valid point as well.

 

[Yorkhill_True_Blues]

Because Beale subbed him.

Thanks. Your a hero.

 

[AbronhillBear]

He was on a booking pretty sure at that time it was only him and Davies on a booking. If he felt that he needed to make changes in the final third then it makes sense to take off the one on a booking.

Nor me.

 

[tottie beck]

Didnt get the gaffers game plan at all today, including his starting line up. I didnt think Sakala was having a great game, but that switch seemed to be more tactical

Pfft

I thought Sakala was poor today and it gave us better balance him going off

 

[mathers1]

In fairness, he looked like he was blowing (which isn’t like him).

Both him & Morelos were poor today.

Tillman blowing also in the 2nd half.

 

[Dynamo]

Because he was shite?

 

[insanicdrunk]

I thought Sakala was poor today and it gave us better balance him going off

Basically what H&H said the manager has said, too many in attacking areas and the balance off.

 

[CLMGC]

Thanks. Your a hero.

‘You’re’

You’re welcome.

 

[DKRangers]

We had gone stale and did nothing the second half, we needed to try something

Yeah removing an attacking threat and bringing on Kamara isn't ideal.

Me two

 

[Captain Cutlass]

Sakala was a handful the whole time he was on and really unlucky not to have at least a couple of assists.
It's almost a certainty that he was subbed because he was on a (ridiculous) yellow!

 

[HandsomeHead]

I thought he was poor today - every second touch was a tackle, etc.

 

[sr1983]

He was on a booking but on top of that he had a pretty poor game. Easily the worst of our front players today.

 

[Arab]

If we took off every player who was booked we would struggle with the subs

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

He was on a yellow, slack going into challenges which looked like it might lead to a 2nd and was generally playing poor anyway.

 

[Bigboabwylie]

Will go against the grain I thought he was decent today

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I thought it was because he was on a booking.

I agree but There were other options to come on and keep going forward.
Kamara?

 

[barcelonabear]

it’s not always as simple as Kamara for Sakala is a defensive substitution. Sometimes more attackers on pitch against low blocks can cause different issues.

 

[Leif Erikson]

I thought it was because he was on a booking.

Then is the real question not why did Kamara come on for him? The sub confused me at the time and hindsight hasn't helped either.

 

[Salsabear]

I thought it was because he was on a booking.

Yep.

Nothing more than that.

 

[Captain_Buns]

In terms of the match I don't understand his plan.

Sakala was booked in for Saturday Arvo beers so was allowed to leave early.

 

[Aranoid Pandroid]

MB is the manager, he decides who the subs are and when they come on, and also the impact the player may make. Thinking I'll trust MB before a PlayStation championship manager.

 

[Hallers]

We had gone stale and did nothing the second half, we needed to try something

Which meant going defensive & allowing RC to get to us.

 

[AnglianBear]

It threw the players right off because we were all over the shop after that change.

Cant believe folk thought Sakala wasnt great today.

I'd love to see the numbers but it feels to me like Sakala creates more clear cut chances than Kent does.

 

[Forfarbear77]

I think Sakala had a really good game. He was a constant out ball and his pace scared there back line. We all know he isn’t the most gifted player but he always gives 100%.

The whole team lacked intensity for around 5 mins before he was taken off. We were very unfortunate that some of our chances didn’t go in. But it’s the whole teams fault not just Sakala

Excellent you get the attention you crave.

Wtf you on about. I don't crave attention.

You're a clever boy

What an odd response to the question...

A long winded wankery way of saying you'll accept without question what the manager does! Warburton era, nonsense.

Kevin Barry,, an odd response to my post. Wankery. FFS. I never mentioned Warburton era. I was talking about MB and how he deals with things.

 

[Luthgibear]

Sakala more suited to away games when teams don't put 11 men behind the ball. His control of the ball lets him down at times.

 

[Aranoid Pandroid]

Kevin Barry. I await your response.

 

[Mount_Bear]

Sakala was on a booking. We were taking far too many touches in and around the box and needed someone with a better first touch and more incisive pass. It was a sensible substitution.

 

[Detective Vic Mackey]

He wasn’t playing well tbf

 

[bluebearMcleod89]

On a booking and the way the ref was going about his business it looked like any challenge we made would be bookable. Only in Scotland

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

More to the point why was he replaced by a DM ?

The media witch hunt paying dividends.

 

[Bluenose68]

I thought so too. By no means brilliant but, decent enough

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

As soon as Sakala came off they came forward as they know no one else in our teams going to run them.
