According to the beeb we were still well within normal time. What’s more annoying is they’ve only had 2 shots on target in 90mins and stuck both in the back of the net albeit ggd first with a deflected og.

4 errors at the back Saturday and sounds like Two more tonight, not good enough, too many weak links at the back.

I never like triple substitutions but McKenna often deploys it and it often works. That said bringing on Broadhead, Chaplin & Jackson you think would be a positive change. It should certainly boost our chances in a penalty shoot out.

Yep, never been a fan. On 76mins, you are asking the team to adjust to the changes in 14 - 18 minutes. Mistakes ALWAYS happen. Don't fkn change what isn't broken.
