Sub timing could be tricky. Do you bring on Sotirio at half time if he's only capable of playing 45 mins, considering extra time could mean 75 mins.

Sotirio for Sandoval and start playing on the counter at pace ffs. Sandoval only looks like hes running coz he knows he'll get a bollocking if he doesn't. God i wish we had another midfield option coz Pennington is playing sharke. 
 Pennington is so lackluster and is always trying the worst possible pass at the worst possible time. I miss Rufer

Pennington's been absolutely outstanding in my opinion. His best game this season

Can't counter attack when they sit so deep. 
Gonna take a moment of quality. But also Important that we don't concede and stay in the game. Fresh legs in the last 20 min will make a diffence for us too.

The question is, where is the game being lost. I don't necessarily see this as failure up front - probably more to do with with high press by WU against Sutton. As a result we do not seem to be creating changes and holding WU in their own half enough.
And no, I do not see Pennington as having a bad game.

Sandlewood can get off for Old at half time. We need someone that actually tracks back with effort.

Joshy and Waine on as well please. We have to go for it because WU have already started wasting time ffs.

WU are just playing there usual game. They are well structured in defence. If we can get that goal. Everything will change. Keep the imports on for a while longer for me.

That might be over-egging it a bit but he's been perfectly fine so far. A real improver over the later part of the season imo.

Question is when will Lewis go off? We'll be even more exposed if Pennington is left as the only holding mid.

You can absolutely counter attack when the opposition sits back, what are you talking about?

FFS, Hooper gets the free kick, quick counter attack opportunity and what does Pennington do? pass back to defence

Going to bump my opinion that Sandoval is crap. Doesn't do any defensive work and does nothing going forward. Old on please...

Ball stays on yet. 

Sandoval has a point about the lack of protection.

Looks like a good change. Old for Sandoval and Sotirio for Hooper.

Any previous season if you'd told me there's half an hour to go in the playoffs and you're relying on Josh Sotorio to crack it for you, I'd have thought jeepers what happened to the Nix? But now I'm thinking thank christ Josh Sotorio is on. He'll suss it, surely?!

 Sotirio is a much improved player this season, for one he does not run into offside as he used to.

If that's the last we see of Sandoval, I'll be happy.  Didn't bring 5% of what his reputation or hype promised tbh.
