Message: [QUOTE="bazza, post: 2778180, member: 8440"] As I've said before, I completely understand Bennett's decision of not wanting TPJ out there towards the back end of the match, since you want your best, most experienced players out there when the games on the line, but then It begs the question, why wasn't he brought on a lot earlier in the match, when the match probably isn't won or lost? Our forwards were fatiguing in the opening 20-25 minutes, as were theirs. That was the perfect time to bring on TPJ without the fear of him being a deciding factor defensively. The consequences of a defensive error is far greater towards the back end of a game than it is towards the start. But by not using him at all during the regulation 80 mins, it meant that our forwards were far more tired then their forwards were, By forcing our experienced players to play extended minuted, they had nothing left in the tank in the end. If we properly use the interchange, we minimise a lot of their go forward in that last 10 mins of regular time, as well as the opening 5 minutes of extra time. [/QUOTE]
